Abbott and Costello Comics #21

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello stumble into a space job and accidentally end up piloting a ship to Mars, where they crash-land in the Swamps of Death and find themselves caught between the native Martians Astra and Taro and an invading Jupiterian fleet. As chaos erupts around them, the duo must navigate alien creatures, mechanical defenses, and treacherous plans while trying to stay alive on an unfamiliar world.

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello find themselves broke and desperate for business when a woman named Patsy Furlong arrives at their private detective agency with an urgent problem—her prize racing horse, Zip, has been stolen. In "They're Off—and How!" from Abbott and Costello Comics #21, the pair go undercover at the racetrack to track down the missing horse, only to stumble onto a scheme involving the unscrupulous Derek Side-Saddle, Zip's trainer, and a dangerous wager. What follows is a wild chase filled with mistaken identities, gunfire, and the kind of chaos these two detectives seem to attract wherever they go.
