The Adventures of Bob Hope #72
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Deep Dive Dope: Part 1," Bob Hope—ever the reluctant showman—finds himself on a bizarre errand after narrowly avoiding being fired as a beauty contest promoter, tasked with buying a pad to jot down notes. His journey leads him to a beach where he stumbles upon a beatnik poet lost in a rhythm of words, setting the stage for a surreal, offbeat adventure. Written and illustrated by Bob Oksner, with cover art by Bob Oksner, this 1961 DC comic captures a quirky moment in time with a 12-cent price tag and a distinctly oddball charm.
Bob Hope, on the brink of being fired as a beauty contest promoter, gets a surprising second chance—sent to the beach to buy a notepad so he can take notes. There, he stumbles upon a beatnik beachcomber reciting poetry, while the local bathing beauties and a female beatnik hotel clerk add their own flair to the scene.
Bob Hope is pulled into a bizarre underwater mission when Vera Bentley enlists him to help her father, P. R. Bentley, locate a mysterious fresh-water current two miles beneath the sea. With a cast of eccentric beatniks, a sharp-tongued female hotel clerk, and a team of eccentric scientists—including an attractive female ocean scientist—Bob finds himself navigating deep-sea oddities, Cha-Cha’s jazz rhythms, and Olga’s peculiar charm in a quest that’s equal parts absurd and exhilarating.
