Humphrey Comics #2

There's a wonderfully chaotic energy to Ham Fisher's cover for this 1948 Harvey title, as young Humphrey perches atop a red caboose, surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd demanding autographs and chanting "Let's get him!" — the poor kid looks more overwhelmed than celebrated. The bold header teases whether Humphrey can truly "knockout Palooka," setting up a fun rivalry with Joe Palooka himself, whose cheerful face beams from the top corner. At a dime for 52 pages published every other month, this was a genuinely generous slice of comic fun from Fisher's pen.
