The Adventures of Bob Hope #81

DC's long-running comedy series delivers a delightfully spooky setup in this July 1963 issue, with Mort Drucker's cover showing Bob caught between a frightened brunette in yellow clinging to him and a serene blonde in a flowing white gown — who, surrounded by bats, cobwebs, and a black cat, calmly wonders why anyone would be afraid of ghosts. The comedic tension is pitch-perfect: two very different reactions to the same eerie setting, with Bob's wide-eyed, knees-up panic stealing the scene. Drucker's expressive linework gives the whole thing a warm, funny energy that made this series such a reliable treat throughout the early '60s.
