Comics on Parade #4 (16)
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"The Beasts of Tarzan" in Comics on Parade #4 (1939) delivers a quirky, early adventure featuring the jungle hero in a story written, drawn, and inked by Bernard Dibble—marking a rare all-in-one effort from the creator. The issue’s cover by Raeburn Van Buren captures the wild tone, while the grounded, offbeat premise centers on a father’s odd insurance plan involving a cigar-making machine, setting up a tale of survival and unexpected enterprise.
In "null," Looy and Dilbury escape captivity only to find themselves adrift in a lifeboat with sailor Joe. After making landfall, they seek refuge with a band of Arabs led by a young woman, stepping into a world far removed from their misadventures.
In a brief, deadpan gag from *Comics on Parade* #4, Pa convinces his wife he needs $100 to insure her support after his death—only to spend it on a cigar-making machine, quipping, "If I pop off, you're all ready for business."
