More Fun Comics #109

This cheerful 1946 DC ten-cent comic delivers a wonderfully chaotic cover by Stan Kaye, walking readers through an elaborate comic chain reaction: a masked crook steps on a sleeping cat's tail, which triggers a spring, which fires a cannon, sending a bag of coins exploding into the air — all while a caped youngster watches with hands raised in delighted surprise. The cover teases Genius Jones on the case of "The Disappearing Deposits!," promising the boy wonder's trademark cleverness applied to a banking mystery. Kaye's cartoony, diagram-style storytelling makes this one genuinely fun to look at even before you've cracked it open.
