Leading Comics #40

This cheerful 1949 DC anthology packs a full 52 pages of fun featuring Peter Porkchops, shown here behind the wheel of a speedy red convertible that has launched clean off a cliff's edge — with his wide-eyed canine passenger gripping the back seat as the car sails over a cityscape below. "It's just like riding on air, isn't it?" reads the speech bubble, perfectly capturing the breezy, anything-goes spirit of the era's funny-animal comics. Otto Feuer's cover art delivers a wonderfully expressive scene full of motion and charm, making this a delightful snapshot of DC's lighter side in the late 1940s.
