The Adventures of Bob Hope #105

DC's long-running comedy series delivers pure 1967 absurdity with this issue, subtitled "How to Win a Monster!" right on the cover — and Bob Oksner's cover art makes the joke immediately clear: a terrified Bob Hope sits up in bed, surrounded by a green Frankenstein's monster, a ghostly cloaked specter rattling chains, and what appears to be a Wolfman-type creature lurking at the foot, all while a "Wake at Midnight" note rests nearby. The cover's warning — "Don't read this one unless your watch is shock-proof and your belly is yock-proof" — perfectly captures the lighthearted monster-comedy tone that made The Adventures of Bob Hope such a fun corner of the DC universe. Writer Arnold Drake and artist/inker Bob Oksner clearly had a ball blending classic creature-feature frights with Hope's signature bumbling charm.
