Adventure Comics #145
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Holiday Hijackers!", young newsreel cameraman Tubby takes on a series of dull assignments—zoo bears, quiet libraries, and more—only to capture wild, inexplicable chaos wherever he points his camera. Writer Otto Binder and artists Dan Barry (pencils and inks) deliver a delightfully absurd adventure where the real spectacle isn’t the action, but the irony of Tubby’s unrecorded footage. Cover by Al Wenzel captures the playful energy of the issue, a 10-cent gem from 1949.

When Tubby asks for a promotion to full-time cameraman, his boss gives him the 'dull list', locations where good newsreel footage is impossible to obtain. While Tubby is at the zoo looking at bears lounging around, Johnny Quick agitates the air around them, causing the bears to dance. At the library Johnny spots a man trying to steal a rare book, and causes other volumes to fly off the shelves. And so on until the list is covered. All the while Tubby gets great footage. Unfortunately, he has forgotten to load an film into the camera.
