“Forced Landing!”

Nero Fox — billed right on the cover as "The Jive-Jumping Emperor of Ancient Rome" — gets a wonderfully absurd showcase in this 1946 DC humor title. Ed Dunn's cover art catches the antlered, robed fox emperor gleefully blowing soap bubbles through his saxophone while a small Roman soldier in full armor looks on with exasperated dignity, pleading that even a banned sax shouldn't be repurposed as a bubble-pipe. It's the kind of lighthearted, sight-gag comedy that makes Leading Comics #21 a charming snapshot of postwar funny-animal fun.
