Atomic Bunny #18

This 1959 Charlton gem features a wonderfully absurd cover by George Wildman: a cheerful Atomic Bunny grins through an x-ray machine while a wide-eyed scientist peers at the fluoroscope screen, where the bunny's skeleton is fully visible clutching a giant carrot. The playful gag is pure mid-century funny-animal charm, and the promise of a "Giant Contest" with a regulation-size swimming pool as the prize gives the whole package an irresistible period flavor. Writer Joe Gill and artist/inker George Wildman keep the laughs coming in "One Stiff Bunny" — a title that pairs perfectly with that delightful x-ray sight gag on the cover.
