The Inferior Five #8

DC's lovably hapless comedy team tumbles across this June 1968 cover in gloriously chaotic fashion — all five members are mid-brawl amid a heap of junk and debris, trading quips via speech bubbles while a seagull, a giant egg, and assorted wreckage fill every corner of the frame. Win Mortimer's pencils and Tex Blaisdell's inks capture the team's signature blend of superhero spectacle and pure slapstick, with the green-skinned Merryman, the caped Awkwardman, and their equally disaster-prone teammates looking every bit as gloriously outmatched as their name implies. With a story title like "A Little Junk... Can Go a Long Way!" and a creative team including E. Nelson Bridwell, Don Segall, and artist Win Mortimer, this issue promises the kind of warm, self-aware humor that made the Inferior Five one of DC's most endearing oddities of the era.
