“The Medieval Mirthquake”

In "The Medieval Mirthquake," Funnyman finds himself whisked from his Jet Jallopy into a strange, sword-wielding past when lightning strikes his vehicle. Taken in by the eccentric Sir Lunchalot and presented to the regal King Artery, Funnyman soon becomes the unlikely center of a royal intrigue when Queen Hotcha sees a chance to seize power. With the King skeptical of her claims, he devises a dangerous test: pitting the Zany Comedian against the fearsome Tiny Tom, who's promised freedom if he succeeds. Written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by Joe Shuster in a bold, dynamic style, this 1948 adventure blends slapstick and spectacle in a world where laughter might be the only weapon that matters. Cover by Joe Shuster.

As Funnyman flies along in his Jet Jallopy, the vehicle is struck by lightning. Landing, he discovers that he has been thrust into medieval times, and is taken by Sir Lunchalot to King Artery. However, Queen Hotcha sees a golden opportunity to use Funnyman to help her self to the throne. When the King learns of the plot, he doesn't believe it and concocts a plan to put the Zany Comedian up against Tiny Tom (who has been promised his freedom by the Queen if he kills Funnyman).
