The Adventures of Jerry Lewis #50

This February 1959 DC comedy gem finds Jerry Lewis clutching a Bird-Watchers Guide Book while a massive, googly-eyed Zoo-Zoo Bird looms directly over a startled blonde woman seated nearby — the cover promises "jungles, Jerry, and the Giant Zoo-Zoo Bird" adding up to madcap mirth, and the image absolutely delivers on that premise. Owen Fitzgerald's cover art brings the oversized bird to life with terrific comic energy, balancing Jerry's wide-eyed glee against the woman's alarmed expression for a perfectly timed visual gag. At just ten cents, issue #50 showcases the cheerful absurdity that made this DC humor series such a fun corner of late-1950s comics.
