Big Shot Comics #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
Charlie Chan, the ace detective, uncovers a sinister scheme when a young girl named Sally becomes ill under the care of a suspicious physician—one of three con artists posing as her family to claim a substantial inheritance. With keen observation and sharp deduction, Charlie exposes the imposters and their plan to drug both the child and her father before making off with over $100,000, revealing a criminal plot that reaches from a remote estate to the other side of the world.
When Jibby hears that Professor Jones is coming for tea, he retreats to his room, flipping through his comic books—and gets a wild idea. Inspired by the Moon Man, he fashions a makeshift superhero costume, only to find his plan leads to more chaos than he expected.
