Abbott and Costello Comics #17

Abbott and Costello Comics #17 contains three stories featuring the comedy duo. "Searchez La Femme!" finds Abbott and Costello as detectives hired to locate a professor's missing wife, a heiress with valuable jewelry, leading them to search a house and investigate the disappearance. In "Roman Around," Abbott and Costello break into show business after a theatrical friend promises them acting jobs, but a mix-up results in their suits being sent to cleaners for a week, leaving them stranded without clothes. The issue also includes a winter-themed cover story showing the pair on an icy adventure where one character claims to have broken the ice with a woman.
