Back in the old days, comic books about female characters were very hard to find, so Katy Keene comics were a big success. Katy was a beautiful 21 year old model and aspiring fashion designer who loved to shop, and moved to New York to make her mark in the fashion business. She was very confident – Katy had a boxer boyfriend named K.O. Kelly, numerous admirers, and a little sister to annoy her. Many issues featured Katy Keene paper dolls with assorted outfits. Readers were encouraged to send in their own designs for Katy and if she wore one, they got credit in the comic. Certainly this comic inspired little girls to dream of a career in fashion. Right now the CW is filming the Katy Keene TV series starring Lucy Hale – hopefully they will have female writers doing the character justice…
