Joker Comics #15

A lively slice of 1944 humor from Marvel's Joker Comics, this April issue delivers a wonderfully chaotic street scene outside a barbershop. A grinning, green-striped barber strides out clutching his shaving bowl, declaring that his "striped sweet stick should stop Suzie's squawking," while a stylishly dressed blonde woman looks on and two little girls — one in red, one in yellow — wail dramatically with a chorus of "BAW! HOO-WAH!" The whole cover fizzes with the bright, rubbery energy that made golden-age humor comics such a genuine delight.
