Herbie #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Make Way for the Fat Fury!", Herbie takes a bold step beyond his usual antics by donning a makeshift superhero costume—red flannel underwear, a blue cape, a mask, and a plunger on his head—to face the giant menace Mr. Horrible, who’s throwing the nation into chaos. Written by Shane O'Shea and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Ogden Whitney (who also inked and handled the cover), this 1965 issue captures the absurd charm of a reluctant hero stepping up in the most unorthodox way. The cover by Whitney perfectly captures the moment: a plunger-headed, barefoot savior poised to save the Statue of Liberty.

The giant Mr. Horrible is a one-man crime wave, leaving Senator Goldwater and President Johnson at wits end. To help out, Herbie enrolls in a superhero school to become a licensed costume hero. Herbie did not graduate, and when his father threatened to become a costume hero, Herbie created the Fat Fury. Not a licensed, graduate hero, but he'd do. He wore red flannel underwear, a blue cape, a blue mask and a plunger on his head. Bare feet! The Fat Fury rescues the Statue of Liberty and defeats Mr. Horrible.
