The Adventures of Bob Hope #75

A sunny beach setting frames this July 1962 DC humor comic, with a caricatured Bob Hope in a red sweatshirt admiring a glamorous blonde in a sleek black swimsuit — who coolly informs him she won it in a judo contest. Mort Drucker's cover art captures that breezy, joke-a-minute spirit that made this series such a fun corner of the DC lineup, with expressive linework that brings the gag to life instantly. Light, charming, and genuinely funny, issue #75 is a fine snapshot of early '60s comedic comics at their most relaxed.
