Gay Comics #29

A breezy slice of postwar beach humor, Gay Comics #29 delivers the lighthearted laughs this anthology series was known for in 1947. The cover sets the comic tone perfectly: a grinning, red-haired fellow sits between a startled blonde in a red swimsuit and a poised brunette in black, clutching a book titled Gentlemen Like Blondes — much to what appears to be everyone's amusement or exasperation. At a dime a copy, this is cheerful, sun-soaked fun that captures the playful spirit of mid-century humor comics.
