Jumbo Comics #5

This 1939 Fiction House offering promises readers "Bigger & Better Funnies" for a dime, and the cover — penciled and inked by Will Eisner — delivers pure winter slapstick energy. A crowded bobsled packed with a wild assortment of characters rockets toward the edge of a cliff, with one confident rider insisting "bobsledding is the safest sport in the world!" while his passengers beg to differ, the snowy chaos below hinting at just how wrong that claim might be. Inside, Major Thorpe kicks off "Treasure of the Dead" — a title that promises plenty of adventure to match the cover's irresistible comedic mayhem.
