Plop! #21

DC's beloved anthology of comedy and horror delivers another Giant-sized dose of absurdity with this June 1976 issue. The cover by Joe Orlando tells a perfectly timed three-panel visual gag: a caped villain menaces a damsel on a cliff's edge, she plummets with a resounding "EEEK," and a baffled hero is left pondering whether "place her gingerly on the ledge" might have been better phrasing. Inside, Wally Wood handles full writing and art duties on "Adventures of Peter Pureheart," promising the kind of sharp, irreverent storytelling that made Plop! one of DC's most entertainingly offbeat titles of the mid-'70s.
