☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn this 1960 DC gem, Bob Hope stars in a twisty tale where a determined female reporter arrives to interview the reclusive Darmus, only to become an unexpected ally in his escape. With the mobster’s bookie closing in, the stakes rise fast—just as Bob Hope’s knack for chaos and quick thinking is put to the test. Written, drawn, and inked by Bob Oksner, with a sharp, expressive cover by Mort Drucker, this issue delivers classic comic book flair in a 10-cent package.
When a pair of hoods mistake Bob for the track-obsessed Darmus and drag him into a scheme to predict race winners, panic sets in. Desperate to escape, Bob improvises with a childhood rhyme—only to accidentally call five winners in a row.
When a sharp-witted reporter arrives to interview Nostril Darmus, Bob Hope finds himself caught between a mobster’s bookie demanding repayment and a sudden alliance with a woman who knows how to get him out of trouble. With Pete, Slugger, and Benny the boss all tangled in the chaos, and Big Louie looming nearby, every escape route leads to more complications.
