The Adventures of Bob Hope #97

The Benedict Arnold High School Winter Carnival gets wonderfully chaotic on the cover of this 1966 DC title, where a young woman in a red outfit takes a tumble on the ice rink while a green-skinned monster skater looms nearby and a "JUDGE"-badged figure looks on in alarm — with a guitar-strumming teen and a disembodied head rounding out the delightfully absurd scene. Bob Oksner's cover art captures the anything-goes spirit of "Ski-Bee Jeebies!", teasing a book-length belly-laff that pits Bob Hope against Super Hip, the self-proclaimed Abominable Show-Off. DC's long-running comedy series is in fine form here, blending slapstick, monsters, and groovy 1966 teen culture into one cheerfully unhinged package.
