Harvey Hits #98

Harvey Hits #98 from 1965 spotlights G.I. Juniors in a cover scene that's equal parts slapstick and mechanical mayhem — a yellow robot labeled "G.I. Joe Robot" delivers a rapid-fire spanking (WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!) to a hapless adult, while a group of uniformed kids looks on with gleeful satisfaction, one operating the robot via remote control. Jack O'Brien's cartooning crackles with energy, from the lightning-bolt sound effects to the victim's wide-eyed expression of disbelief. At just 12 cents, this Harvey Hits issue captures the mischievous spirit that made the G.I. Juniors series such a fun corner of 1960s comics.
