The Adventures of Bob Hope #15

A wax museum has never looked this lively — in this June–July 1952 DC issue, the cover by Owen Fitzgerald drops Bob Hope right into the chaos as a red-coated blonde woman drags a very animated wax figure past the displays, with a pursuing cop and eerily still mannequins looking on. The punchy exchange in the speech bubbles — "How can you run? You're a dummy!" / "Listen, doll! If I don't run, I'm a dummy!" — perfectly captures the comedic spirit that made this series so enjoyable. The tagline promising "haunted castles and heavenly maidens" as Hope flees "from dummies to dolls and danger" sets up a delightfully frantic adventure.
