Chic Young's Dagwood Comics #26

A delightful slice of early-'50s whimsy, this Harvey Comics issue sends Dagwood Bumstead into outer space — and the cover makes the premise irresistible. Clad in a fishbowl space helmet, bow tie, and backpack, Dagwood reacts with wide-eyed surprise as a cheerful, crown-wearing anthropomorphic sandwich bounds toward him across a lunar landscape, cheerfully declaring "Welcome to the Moon!" while planets and stars fill the sky behind them. "Dagwood's Trip to the Moon" promises exactly the kind of absurd, good-natured fun that made this series a staple of 1953 newsstands, all for just a dime.
