☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Tarzan Faces Tsuris," a backstage whirlwind of desperation and sudden stardom unfolds when flower girl Mamie is thrust into the spotlight after a last-minute casting switch. Written by Dick De Bartolo and brought to life with bold, expressive art by Jack Davis, the story captures a moment of fleeting fame and quiet resilience. The cover, also by Jack Davis, perfectly mirrors the comic’s mix of humor and heart.
In "Little Miss Wishy Washy," the Kid lends a hand as the overly dramatic Little Miss Wishy Washy readies her horse for the Kentucky Derby, turning a classic race into a surreal showdown of movie logic and stubborn charm. When Blackie narrowly loses in a photo finish, Wishy isn’t satisfied—she demands the announcer rewrite history to match the happy ending her fans expect, threatening a very unorthodox form of trackside revenge.
In this delightfully absurd satire, Nurse Fran Janice takes up the mantle of justice after Dr. Clinton’s sudden demise, only to find her path tangled with the bumbling private eye Nick. As he stumbles through clues with all the grace of a cartoon character, the case unfolds with escalating ridiculousness—leaving Fran hopeful for more than just a cold case closed.
In "Broken Hearts Over Broadway," a whimsical satire of Broadway's backstage chaos, flower girl Mamie is thrust into the spotlight when a last-minute casting emergency forces Mr. Beastly to teach her a full lead role in just thirty minutes. Her sudden rise to stardom is dazzling—but fleeting—until a chance encounter with a new producer, who recognizes her talent in the most unexpected place, reignites her path. Written with a sharp eye for theatrical absurdity and drawn in a delightfully exaggerated style, this story captures the fleeting fame and quiet resilience of a girl who never stopped being herself.
