Plop! #6

DC's self-proclaimed "Magazine of Weird Humor" delivers another dose of gleeful grotesquerie in this 1974 installment, with a Basil Wolverton cover featuring his signature rubbery nightmare of a figure — a bug-eyed, long-nosed, grinning creature with its own brain visibly scooped open, cheerfully declaring "Fly Me… I'm Josephine!" Against a green background tiled with tiny cartoon vignettes, the image is equal parts unsettling and irresistible. Inside, writer Steve Skeates and artist Mike Sekowsky (inked by Bob Oksner) bring their own sensibilities to "Bits and Pieces of a Corrupt Life!" — making this a fine snapshot of the anything-goes spirit Plop! brought to the mid-'70s comics scene.
