Big Shot Comics #5

In "An All Wet Day/Looking for Laughs," young Jibby channels his inner hero after reading about the Moon Man, donning a makeshift costume in a bid to impress Professor Jones—only to find his homemade adventure takes a surprisingly splashy turn. Created by artist and inker Creig Flessel, this 1940 tale captures a charming moment of childhood imagination and accidental mayhem in a 10-cent comic from Columbia’s early superhero era.
