Porky Pig #42

Sep 1955 · Dell · 0.10 USD
“Elephant Disaster”

In "Elephant Disaster," Porky Pig stumbles upon a mysterious hair-grower at a curious little shop, only to discover it grants him strength far beyond his usual self—thanks to a lock of hair that’s anything but ordinary. With a new confidence and a full head of mighty locks, Porky takes up crime-fighting, but his newfound power comes with a vulnerability the crooks are quick to exploit. Art by Fred Abranz brings the zany antics to life, while Phil De Lara’s cover captures the chaos in bold, playful detail.
