☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeNational Comics #74 is an anthology featuring multiple stories. "The Barker Outspiels Snake Oil Sam" follows a con man at a circus barber shop who encounters a large walrus and becomes entangled in comedic mishaps involving circus performers. "Lassie" depicts a child's beach adventures, including digging in the sand and accidentally striking a man with a shovel. "Steve Wood" features the waterfront detective investigating a murder connected to a yachting party and a case involving a diamond smuggling racket, with a mysterious robed figure looming over a ship as death descends on the case.
When Snake Oil Sam learns that Col. Lane's Mammoth Circus is heading to town, he sees a threat to his lucrative medicine show and decides to do whatever it takes to outshine the competition. The Barker and the circus crew fight back with their own attractions, setting up a hilarious battle of spectacle between a fast-talking con artist and genuine carnival acts. It's a clash of hucksterism and honest (well, circus-honest) entertainment that plays out in this entertaining tale of small-town showmanship.
