Cover by Jon D'Agostino and Stacey J. Goodwin. Stories and art by Jon D'Agostino and others. Charlton presents the misadventures of the popular TV/radio show character and her long-suffering father, Vern. The My Little Margie comic, which began during the 1950s and long outlasted the TV series that inspired it, concludes ten years later with Margie embracing the Beatles and the dawn of 1960s culture. When Margie decides to get a Beatles "mop top" haircut, it's not long until the rest of the gang follows suit. The story features images of the Beatles on album art and the Ed Sullivan Show, as rendered by Jon D'Agostino, and many references to early Beatles lyrics. Vern quickly regrets making Margie the treasurer of his company. An amnesiac Margie is arrested as notorious bank robber "Shotgun Sheila." Beatlemania; Oil's Well; Sweet Jessica: A False Impression, The Prize-Winner, Oh, Doctor, Cleopatra Returns; Dummo the Dummy; Shotgun Sheila; The Music Kick. Final issue of the series. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.12.
