Forbidden Worlds #114
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "A Little Fat Nothing Named Herbie!", the unlikely hero Herbie finds himself at the center of a global mystery when JFK and Adlai Stevenson seek his help in Africa. With Jackie Kennedy swooning at his visit to the White House, Herbie’s journey takes a surreal turn as he confronts the jungle god Karod in the province of Meranga—where his unassuming presence proves mightier than myth. Written by Shane O'Shea and brought to life with bold, expressive art by Ogden Whitney (pencils and inks), this 1963 adventure blends political whimsy and mythic spectacle in a truly unique tale. The cover by Whitney captures Herbie’s iconic charm in full, a 12-cent comic that’s as memorable as it is rare.
In this delightfully absurd 1963 tale from *Forbidden Worlds* #114, the unlikely hero Herbie finds himself called upon by JFK and Adlai Stevenson to save the day in the African province of Meranga. With Jackie Kennedy swooning at his White House visit, Herbie’s real test comes when he confronts the god Karod—defeating him not with strength, but by summoning the jungle’s wild creatures.
