The Adventures of Bob Hope #8

A fine slice of early-1950s DC humor, this issue pairs "America's Favorite Funnyman" with a military misadventure that promises plenty of laughs. Owen Fitzgerald's cover sets the tone perfectly: a pompous, oversized general in a splendid red uniform leans over a military jeep, while two grinning WAC soldiers cheekily egg him on — "Tell us again about how you won the battle single-handed, General!" The cover copy teases that Bob goes "Wacky Over WACs," bouncing from bellhop to brigadier across 52 big pages of Cal Howard's comedy writing brought to life by Fitzgerald's expressive cartooning.
