Sad Sack Comics #290

In "The Diamond Caper," Sad Sack finds himself tangled in a mystery that kicks off with a cleverly layered centerfold spotlighting a series of newly introduced characters—drawn by Fred Rhoads and Ken Selig, with both artists sharing inks and letters—before pivoting to a promotional spread previewing the covers of the next five issues in the series, all priced at $1.00 and available only through specialty comics shops. The cover, a collaborative effort by Rhoads and Selig, captures the playful energy of the era, setting the stage for what’s to come.
