The Adventures of Bob Hope #3

A generous 52 big pages of laughs awaited readers who picked up this third issue of DC's comedy series in 1950, spotlighting "America's Favorite Funnyman" in full photo-cover glory. The cover features a wide-eyed Bob Hope in a captain's hat and checked shirt, clutching a fishing rod and reel with the kind of bewildered expression that promises comedic chaos ahead. Inside, writer Cal Howard and artist/inker Owen Fitzgerald bring that same energy to "A Very Merry Mixup!" — a title that says everything you need to know about the misadventures in store.
