The Fox and the Crow #104

This delightful 1967 DC double-feature — "Twice the Fun for the Price of One!" — pairs Fox and the Crow with Stanley and His Monster for twelve cents of pure comedy. The cover by Carmine Infantino and Mike Esposito captures the central gag perfectly: a massive, shaggy purple monster in a frilly dress and polka-dot skirt towers over a small boy and a tiny girl, while a policeman beside a "WANTED — Mad Monster" poster cheerfully warns the boy that there's a monster on the loose and they should go straight home. The irony practically leaps off the page, and with Arnold Drake writing and Win Mortimer on interior art, the laughs inside promise to be just as sharp.
