About this Collection

This 1990s Malibu collection brings together the zany antics of the classic comedy trio in a comic-book format, featuring stories that capture the slapstick humor of Moe, Larry, and the various 'Curlys' (including Curly Howard, Shemp Howard, and Curly Joe DeRita). The volume also includes a guest appearance by the mythological strongman Hercules and a story illustrated by legendary artist Joe Kubert, with contributions from writer/artist Norman Maurer. It's a fun, offbeat tribute to the Stooges' enduring legacy in popular culture.

"Up an' Atom" kicks off The Three Stooges #1 (1989) with a delightfully chaotic time-travel twist, sending the trio hurtling into the age of Roman legions. Trapped aboard a galley, they face off against a fearsome Cyclops before fleeing in a wild chariot chase. Sparky Moore’s dynamic art brings the absurd adventure to life, capturing the Stooges’ signature slapstick in a mythic, action-packed setting.
