Crack Comics #60

A lighthearted slice of late-1940s comic adventure, Crack Comics #60 from Quality Comics features a cover by Reed Crandall that sets a playfully chaotic outdoor scene — a young hero in a red shirt scrambles up a tree while another fellow tumbles headfirst over a barrel and a third figure looks on with clear alarm. The story teased on the cover, "Triumph Finds Trouble Is No Picnic!", promises exactly the kind of breezy, action-packed fun the title suggests. Interior art by Alice Kirkpatrick makes this 1949 issue a fine example of Quality Comics at its most entertaining.
