Sad Sack Comics #86

Harvey Comics' long-running everyman soldier returns in this 1958 entry, with George Baker's cover depicting the hapless Sad Sack mid-air in tattered gear, a parachute billowing above him while a rocket blasts off nearby and yellow smoke clouds billow at his feet — the picture of military misfortune rendered with Baker's warm, rubbery charm. The tagline "Loved by Millions" says it all about this good-natured series, and one glance at that bewildered expression makes it easy to see why readers kept coming back for more.
