Panic #10
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Captain Izzy and Washt Upps" kicks off with a delightfully absurd twist in EC’s Panic #10 (1955), where the perpetually restless Izzy—tired of crafting hairpins at J. P. McEee Industries—teams up with his perpetually unimpressed partner Washt Upps to demand a more thrilling mission. Written by Jack Mendelsohn and brought to life with sharp, cartoonish energy by Bill Elder on art and inks, and vibrant colors by Marie Severin, this issue delivers a surreal, deadpan comedy that’s as much about the rhythm of the absurd as it is about the characters’ outlandish circumstances. Cover by Bill Elder.
In "Captain Izzy and Washt Upps," two disgruntled factory workers—laid-back Izzy and his perpetually damp partner Washt Upps—grow tired of turning out hairpins for J. P. McEee Industries and boldly demand a more exciting assignment from their boss. Written by a satirical hand and illustrated with sharp, exaggerated flair, the story follows their absurd quest for adventure in a world where office drudgery meets cartoonish rebellion.
