The Adventures of Jerry Lewis #41

DC's long-running humor series finds Jerry Lewis in a wonderfully absurd predicament on this November 1957 cover, penciled by Owen Fitzgerald and inked by Graham Place: a snarling gorilla lets out a thunderous "GRRRR!" while a blonde girl coolly advises Jerry not to worry — he's "just a wise guy trying to start trouble by saying something nasty!" The gap between her breezy calm and Jerry's wide-eyed, hands-up alarm is perfectly timed comedy in a single image. It's a charming snapshot of the era's lighthearted funny-book spirit, all for a dime.
