Bugs Bunny #30

Here's a cover that captures Bugs Bunny at his most gleefully theatrical — dressed in full matador regalia, complete with an ornate jacket and sweeping red cape, he dances between an angry bull and a bewildered young calf on this bright yellow Dell cover from 1953. Tony Strobl's pencils give Bugs that signature smirk, making it clear the wisecracking rabbit is entirely in his element, even with a charging bull nearby. For a dime, this issue promised the kind of lighthearted, character-driven fun that made Dell's Looney Tunes comics a staple of 1950s newsstands.
