My Date Comics #1

In "My Date With Swifty Chase," a 1947 gem from Hillman, Swifty’s world gets turned upside down when he discovers his crush Sunny is smitten with movie star Humphrey Hogart. When Hogart unexpectedly arrives in town to secretly meet his girlfriend Chandra Blake, Swifty sees a chance to help—just in case the star’s attention might finally wander. Written by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, with art and inks by the duo themselves, this early collaboration captures the charm and energy of a bygone era, all wrapped in a cover by Kirby and Simon that’s as bold as the story inside.
