Four Color #317

Professor Bugs Bunny is open for business on this cheerful 1951 Dell cover, brandishing a large brush loaded with hair tonic in one hand and holding up a mysterious dark bottle in the other, while an amused Porky Pig and a delighted Elmer Fudd look on eagerly from the grass below. A suitcase emblazoned "Prof. Bugs Bunny's Famous Hair Grower" makes the con — or cure — official, and the story title "Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow" promises the wisecracking rabbit is up to his usual scheming. Ralph Heimdahl's bright, expressive cover art captures the classic Looney Tunes energy perfectly, and with 52 pages of all-comics content inside, this ten-cent issue is a genuine treat.
