With footsteps echoing in the silence, he braces for another assault, unaware the newcomer is a petite redhead whose arrival could change everything. Art by Boody Rogers captures the isolation and suspense of a world stripped bare, making this 1949 issue a standout in the series.
In a lonely, bug-infested world where Sparky is the last man standing, he’s resigned to his fate—until a sudden sound around the corner sends him scrambling for a weapon. He’s about to strike, convinced another threat is approaching, but the footsteps belong to someone far smaller and unexpected: a petite redhead.
When Tim Dugan's father puts up the money to back a Broadway play called "The Has-Beens of 1949"—giving a group of aging vaudeville performers a real shot at the big time—it looks like the perfect investment. But success, it turns out, comes with its own complications, and the Dugans learn that old dreams die hard when newer, bigger ones come calling.
In this whimsical 1949 tale from Big Shot #98, a bumbling carpet salesman unwittingly sells Brass his enchanted flying carpet—setting off a chain of absurd, heartfelt moments when Brass’s wish to see his Grandma sends the rug soaring straight to her doorstep.
