Chic Young's Dagwood Comics #49

Poor Dagwood can't catch a break — on the vivid yellow cover of issue #49, he's wide-eyed and reeling as a boomerang labeled "BOOMERANG" whips right back around and smacks him in the face, his signature spiky hair and red bow tie perfectly intact despite the chaos. Chic Young's cartooning captures that signature Bumstead bad luck in one perfectly timed image. A cheerful ten-cent treat from Harvey Comics' January 1955 lineup, this one promises the kind of warm, goofy humor that made Dagwood a household name.
