The Adventures of Bob Hope #25

Owen Fitzgerald's cover for this 1954 DC comedy title drops Bob Hope and a wide-eyed blonde companion right into a "Voodoo Temple," where a looming green-skinned Temple Guard raises a club overhead while Bob grins with his trademark unflappable cool. The speech bubble — "What ever gave you the idea that VOODOO was something to be afraid of, doll?" — perfectly captures the light-hearted, mock-heroic humor that made this series such fun. A tropical moonlit backdrop and a real photo of Hope himself in the corner round out a cover that promises plenty of laughs inside from the creative team of writer Cal Howard and artist Owen Fitzgerald.
