Joe Palooka #105

Ham Fisher's cover art for this 1958 Harvey Comics entry in the long-running series sets a lively scene: the towering, gloved figure of Joe Palooka looms in the background while a scrappy brawl plays out on a construction scaffold in the foreground, with figures grappling and tumbling amid paint cans and beams. Little Max and Humphrey also appear in this issue, promising the full cast of familiar faces fans of the strip had come to love. At a dime a copy, Joe Palooka #105 — featuring the story "A Present For Pruney" — delivers the punchy, good-natured action that kept over 60,000,000 readers coming back.
