“The Bughuman Plague”

In "The Bughuman Plague," the struggling vaudeville act the Flying Foxes find themselves in over their heads—literally—after buying a magical swing from Sargon’s apprentice, Max. When the rope fails spectacularly during their performance, chaos ensues, but Sargon sees potential in their misfortune, suggesting their tumble might just be the start of something hilarious. Written by John B. Wentworth and illustrated by Dennis Neville, with a cover by Harry Peter, this 1946 classic blends slapstick and mystery in a way only early DC could deliver.

The Flying Foxes are a vaudeville rope act that is a bust. They see Sargon create a swing out of a six foot long piece of rope and buy it from his apprentice, Max. When it fails to work, they take a tumble on stage and want Max's head. Sargon points out to the stage manager that the Foxes would make a great comedy act.
