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.
In "Make Way for the Fat Fury!" from Herbie #8 (1965), a reluctant hero named Herbie steps into the spotlight when his father threatens to become a costume hero, prompting Herbie to invent the wildly unlicensed Fat Fury—complete with red flannel underwear, a blue cape, a plunger for a helmet, and bare feet. The absurdly outfitted hero takes on the giant menace Mr. Horrible, culminating in a rescue of the Statue of Liberty that proves even the most unlikely heroes can make a difference.
