The Adventures of Bob Hope #38

From DC's humor series comes this mid-1956 jungle-set predicament, with Bob Hope clutching a nervous young woman in a pith helmet as a group of spear-carrying warriors — adorned in feathered headdresses and brandishing a fierce ceremonial mask — close in around them. Bob's quip-under-pressure ("?GULP?—I'll be lucky to keep ANY kind of head, doll!") captures the series' signature blend of comedy and cliffhanger perfectly. Owen Fitzgerald's cover work brings the scene to life with lively expressions and vibrant color that made this ten-cent DC title a reliable laugh every issue.
