All-American Comics #71

A delightful 1946 DC gem from the All-American Comics run, this issue spotlights the beloved Green Lantern sidekick Doiby Dickles in "Doiby Dickles, the Human Bomb!" Paul Reinman's cover tells the whole comedic story at a glance: Doiby sits on what appears to be a bomb with a lit fuse, completely smitten — hearts floating around him as a glamorous dark-haired woman appears in a dreamy cloud overhead — while a masked, caped Green Lantern and a couple of rough-looking men scramble urgently nearby. The cover also carries a "Join the March of Dimes — Fight Infantile Paralysis!" appeal, a touching reminder of the community spirit woven into comics of the era.
