Chic Young's Dagwood Comics #33

Chic Young sends Dagwood on an out-of-this-world misadventure in this 1953 Harvey Comics entry, where the cover depicts our wide-eyed hero and a wild-haired companion clinging for dear life to a speeding rocket as it tears through a star-filled space scene complete with Saturn, Earth, and assorted planets. The "Invasion From Mars" banner promises that the fun doesn't stay grounded once you open the cover. At just a dime, this issue captures the era's infectious enthusiasm for space-age storytelling wrapped in Chic Young's cheerfully chaotic cartoon style.
