Judge #2599
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Convict Takes Clothes," a 1931 issue of Judge, a twist of fate sends a convict and Pete into a strange exchange of identity, all over a borrowed suit. With a clever, almost accidental move, Pete hides his true self by leaning the striped prison garb against a wet fence—turning it into a checkered illusion. Written, drawn, and inked by C. D. Russell, the story unfolds with quiet mischief, while the cover by James Trembath captures the moment’s tension in bold, early comic style.
In this lighthearted 1931 gem from Judge #2599, a convict’s quick swap with Pete sets off a chain of absurd misadventures. When Pete tries to avoid a false arrest by disguising the prison suit as a checkered pattern using a wet fence, chaos unfolds in the most unexpectedly clever way.
