☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSparkler Comics #119 (1954) delivers a quirky, globe-trotting mix of history and oddity, weaving together the legacy of Commodore Matthew C. Perry, the unique Balinese ritual for newborn twins, the first U.S. coin, and the astonishing feats of professional pedestrian Edward Payton Weston—all anchored by the daring voyage of Captain Joshua Slocum and the surprisingly enduring life of a lobster. Written by Elsie Hix and brought to vivid life with Ernie Bushmiller’s expressive cover art, this issue feels like a forgotten scrapbook of the world’s most curious facts.
In "null," Jo finds herself tangled in a series of increasingly absurd misunderstandings, each more baffling than the last, as a simple misunderstanding spirals into a full-blown comic misadventure. With only a few pages to spare, the story unfolds in classic Sparkler Comics fashion—quirky, fast-paced, and packed with visual gags that rely on timing and surprise.
In "null," a brief, eclectic glimpse into 1954’s world of curious facts, the story weaves together the arrival of Commodore Matthew C. Perry in Japan, the ancient Balinese ritual marking the birth of twin children, the first U.S. coin minted in 1793, the feats of professional pedestrian Edward Payton Weston, the solo voyage of Captain Joshua Slocum, and the surprising biology of lobsters—all in a single, compact page of Sparkler Comics #119.
