In "3rd National Bank," Woody Gelman and Sam Glankoff deliver a quirky, deadpan tale set in the world of everyday absurdity, where a routine bank visit takes a surreal turn. The story, illustrated with Glankoff’s crisp, expressive lines, unfolds with the kind of offbeat charm that defined early Harvey Comics—perfectly complemented by George Baker’s sharp, nostalgic cover art.
