“The Unbelievable Truth”

A futuristic, clock-emblazoned spacecraft hovers over a small-town 1950s strip — complete with a Colossal Burger, a soda shop, and a bewildered carhop staring up with a simple "?" — while a speech bubble from the craft jokes about keeping the whole thing secret from the Russians. Tom Peyer and Rags Morales send Hourman on a "Pit Stop in the '50s!" that blends Cold War paranoia with retro Americana in the most delightfully absurd way. With Morales handling both pencils and inks on a cover this charming, this 2001 issue is a wonderful slice of DC's more playful, inventive side.
