With the father desperate to field a champion for a match against Blobonia and Bob volunteering to step back into the spotlight for a $10,000 payday, the stage is set for a quirky, charming adventure. Written by Cal Howard and illustrated by Owen Fitzgerald, with inks by Graham Place and a cover by Fitzgerald, this comic blends humor and unlikely heroism in a classic DC oddity.
In a lighthearted twist of fate, Bob finds himself drawn into an unexpected mission when he bumps into Louise Spencer, a young woman whose bank errand is thwarted by a closing hour. With her father, Mr. Peabody, fretting over a missing tennis match against Blobonia, Bob steps in—offering to step back into the spotlight for a $10,000 payday, despite his supposed retirement.
In "null," Princess Ileana of Blobonia takes matters into her own hands, whisking Bob Hope away during a training run and imprisoning him at a remote mountain lodge. With the help of Bob’s relentless landlady, the American tennis champion is ultimately rescued—just in time for a new match.
