Today in Comics History, September 1: Happy birthday, Joyce Holden!

Born on this day in 1930: movie and TV actor Joyce Holden! She's been in The Milkman, Iron Man (not, not that one, this one's from 1951), Bronco Buster, Girls in the Night, You Never Can Tell, The Donald O'Connor Show, and in Spin and Marty from The Mickey Mouse Club, among others! What she hasn't been in is very many comic books, but I did hunt up the one she was in! Who says this isn't the Mighty Bully Age of Doing Research to Entertain All Y'All?


from Movie Love #18 (Eastern Color, December 1952), pencils and inks by Frank Fogarty

Sadly, she didn't even get her picture in this feature. So, to address that omission, here she is WHOA VA-VA-VOOM! Ahem. I mean, Miss Holden, with complete respect AH-WOOGA AH-WOOGA! (hits self over head with hammer)


Happy birthday, Joyce!
