Four Color #1127

From Dell's 1960 run of comedy adaptations comes this delightful entry featuring Larry, Moe, and Curly Joe in full slapstick form — the cover photo captures all three mugging hilariously around a human skull, with Moe gleefully grabbing Curly Joe's hair while Larry grins on in scheming delight. The cover tagline promises a "laugh riot" as the trio takes on the role of private eyes in "The Private Eye-Balls," and honestly, the chaotic energy on display makes that very easy to believe. At just ten cents, this was a fine way for 1960 readers to bring the mayhem of the Stooges home in comic book form.
