Humphrey Comics #9

Poor Humphrey has just been launched skyward by a very determined white steer at a rodeo, his cap flying off as the crowd looks on in wide-eyed amusement — and that's exactly the brand of cheerful, slapstick chaos that made Humphrey Comics such a delight in 1950. Ham Fisher's rotund, good-natured hero anchors this issue with "all-new Humphrey stories drawn specially for this issue," promising a full Western adventure straight through. Al Avison's lively cover art captures every bit of the "rodeo riot of western thrills and spills" the banner promises, making this ten-cent issue a genuinely fun snapshot of Harvey's humor comics at their most boisterous.
