☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn this 1947 issue of Smash Comics, Spunky’s attempt to impress his friends by learning music takes a hilariously awkward turn when his voice begins changing just as he’s about to sing for the campfire group. Written with a keen eye for adolescent humor and drawn with expressive energy by Sid Lazarus, the story captures a moment of youthful embarrassment with charm and wit. The cover, a vibrant piece by Jack Cole, perfectly captures the lighthearted spirit of the tale.
In "null," a mysterious radio broadcast draws a gang to a remote lighthouse, where they uncover secrets tied to a long-lost treasure—and the sudden, unexplained death of the keeper. The story unfolds with tense atmosphere and classic adventure pacing, as the isolated setting amplifies the danger lurking beneath the surface.
In "null," Colonel Snath’s scheme to disable Lady Luck by targeting Brenda Banks takes a twist when Brenda, aided by Peecolo, orchestrates a clever ruse that makes it appear as though both women were present together—though never in the same place at once. The story unfolds with tense misdirection, turning a kidnapping attempt into a test of wit and deception.
In this 1947 tale from Smash Comics #71, Spunky’s envy of Curly’s ukulele skills leads him on a comedic quest to master every instrument in sight—only to abandon them all when he tries singing at a campfire gathering. Just as he begins, his voice betrays him with the unmistakable shift of adolescence.
