Comedy Comics #10

A lively slice of 1942 Timely Comics humor, this issue's cover by Mike Sekowsky bursts with slapstick energy — a tall, big-nosed fellow in a blue-and-red varsity sweater gleefully wields a paint brush while dragging a smaller kid along the sidewalk, taunting his victim with the speech bubble "AHA! AT LAST I'VE GOT YOU WHEN YOUR TOUGH PAL AIN'T AROUND!" A scowling accomplice raises a club nearby while a baffled policeman looks on in the background, utterly failing to restore order. It's the kind of anarchic streetwise comedy that made ten cents feel like a very good deal in 1942.
