☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"The Barker" is a circus-themed comic featuring the title character and various circus performers and acts. The story shown involves a traitor named Pedro Alvarez operating within the circus, with Colonel Lane discovering his sabotage plot. Midge, a circus midget, becomes involved in the action when a police officer pursues him, mistaking him for the criminal, leading to comedic chaos at the circus grounds as the officer attempts to apprehend the wrong suspect.
The Barker and his carnival pals find themselves in Yesterville, a town competing to inherit a massive fortune—but only if it can abandon all modern conveniences and live like the Gay Nineties for the duration of their stay. When a rogue airplane buzzes overhead and threatens to derail the whole scheme, The Barker must think fast to keep Colonel Lane's Mammoth Circus from being run out of town. This 1946 humor romp is pure carnival chaos as our hero navigates old-fashioned mobs, eccentric townspeople, and the constant threat of twentieth-century catastrophe.
