Crack Comics #48
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Murder in the Sky," Bernard Dibble crafts a whimsical yet tense tale from the heart of 1947’s Crack Comics, where Pa’s new role as Grand Wiz-Boom and Grand Kypootum of the Ancient Arch-Wizards of Arabia—complete with an elaborate costume—unintentionally sparks a chain of events that threatens his job and strains his marriage. With Ma Bumble suspicious of her husband’s boss Brumfy, the real mystery begins to unfold as the line between ritual and reality blurs. The story’s sharp humor and quirky charm are brought to life by Dibble’s own art, while Reed Crandall’s dynamic cover captures the comic’s offbeat energy.
