The Adventures of Bob Hope #70

Space-age comedy is in full swing on Mort Drucker's cover, where a smitten Bob Hope — decked out in an orange spacesuit and fishbowl helmet, hearts floating overhead — eagerly rushes toward two statuesque alien women in matching red costumes who coolly inquire, "Earthman, anyone?" The contrast between Hope's goggle-eyed enthusiasm and the ladies' amused indifference is perfectly timed comic gold. At ten cents, this 1961 DC gem delivers the kind of breezy, good-natured humor that made The Adventures of Bob Hope such a fun corner of the Silver Age.
