Pep Comics #73
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Mike Fright," Archie pulls a classic prank that backfires in the most hilariously loud way—using a microphone rigged to broadcast a fake radio announcement that his dad, Mike, has won a new car. The chaos unfolds as Mike rushes to the used car lot, convinced he’s a sudden millionaire, while Archie tries to keep a straight face. Written by Ray Gill and illustrated with signature charm by Bob Montana, the cover by Montana captures the moment of comedic panic perfectly.
In a quirky 1949 tale from Pep Comics #73, Jo finds herself caught in a fashion-forward mix-up when Sis pastes Katy’s pictures onto fake magazine covers—only for Katy to believe they’re real and send K.O. scrambling to the drug store to buy them.
In "Horse Laughs," Uncle Bumble discovers that retirement isn't all it's cracked up to be when a series of mishaps with horses at a ranch leave him longing for the simpler chaos of work. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story captures the classic humor of teen life in 1949 with a lighthearted twist on the old man trying to relax.
