It began as a radio show in 1947 (the idea, some say, "borrowed" from a failed pitch the year before), and spawned from there a TV show, books, films, and of course comics (Atlas #3-48; 1950-1955). The tales of a ditzy but well-meaning blonde and her assortment of slightly offbeat friends, MY FRIEND IRMA was one of the most popular entertainment franchises of its time. The concept itself has been "borrowed" many times since - in fact, shortly after ceasing publication of
MYFRIEND IRMA, Atlas magically came up with the idea for MY GIRL PEARL.
Amazing, isn't' it? Mostly written by Stan Lee and drawn by Dan DeCarlo, this is a classic series you don't want to miss - and since they surprisingly forgot to renew the copyrights, you don't need to!
This volume collects issues #36-42.
