Barbie and the Rockers: The Hottest Group in Town Book (1987)
Illustrations by Tom Tierney
Illustrating Barbie has got no more exciting in the 30 years hence. Trust me on this.
I do/did love this illustration style. What is that, gouache?
My friends (and/or sisters) had some stuff from this era with this artwork, so this is the first Barbie I can remember.
