Punch and Judy Comics #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freePunch and Judy Comics #1 (1946) kicks off with a delightfully meta twist: the comic's titular character, Punch, grows fed up with his recurring role as a bumbling fool and storms into the publisher’s office demanding a change. When the editor and artists refuse to make him a superhero, Punch takes matters into his own hands—hiring the clumsy elevator boy Herman Snaffle as his new artist, with hilariously disastrous results. Bill Hudson handles both the interior art and the cover, bringing the chaotic energy of this self-aware comic to life with sharp, expressive lines.
