More Fun Comics #40

A February 1939 winter thrill ride from DC, this issue of More Fun Comics delivers on its promise of "64 Pages of Laughs and Thrills" right from the cover — where two kids and their dog careen down a snowy hillside aboard a motorized sled, the wide-eyed passenger clearly having second thoughts while a rabbit scrambles out of the way below. The cover art, by Creig Flessel, captures that perfect mix of slapstick panic and snowy adventure that made this anthology series such a delight, and inside, Fred Schwab contributes a story centered on Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot for a dash of historical intrigue to round out the fun.
