Ace Magazines published a number of hysterically funny teen humor comics. Two titles; ANDY
and then ERNIE are good examples. ANDY was a two issue series published by Ace Comics in
June 1948. It started with issue #20 taking over the numbering from SCREAM COMICS and
ended with issue #21. The two issues were packed with lots of fun artwork by Sam Singer and
Ruth Atkinson. Ace changed the title to ERNIE with issue #22, in September of 1948, which ran
for five more issues. ERNIE focused on the comedic exploits of a young man named (wait for it)
Ernie, his girlfriend Teddie and his sister Billie. There are also stories starring the Southern
Sweetheart Lilly Belle as well as tales of AmericaÕs favorite soda-jerk, Orville.
