The Adventures of Bob Hope #63

Right in the thick of Alaska's snowy wilderness, issue #63 of The Adventures of Bob Hope finds our hero locked in a grateful embrace with a red-suited woman who's exclaiming that he's saved her life — while Bob, ever the comedian, quips that now Alaska is a state, he'd hate to see it melt away. Owen Fitzgerald's cover art captures the comic warmth perfectly, with steam hissing from the frozen ground beneath the pair's feet and a pair of rugged onlookers watching the scene unfold against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains and a dog sled team. At just ten cents in 1960, this DC gem delivers exactly the breezy, romantic comedy charm that made this series such a treat.
