Terry-Toons Comics #3

The Big Bad Wolf is having a very bad day on this cheerful 1942 cover — a little pig swings safely out of reach in a spiked cauldron on chains, while a long-nosed duck charges in wielding a pitchfork, leaving the drooling wolf caught between them with a campfire at his heels. Terry-Toons Comics #3 brings that same warm, anarchic energy of the animated barnyard to the printed page, with Stan Lee scripting "The Barnyard Terror!" and Bill King's lively linework making every frantic expression count. At a dime a copy in December 1942, this is funny-animal comics at its most gleefully chaotic.
