Top Notch Laugh Comics #28

Here's a delightfully chaotic cover from 1942, with Bob Montana's art capturing comedian Pokey Oakey bursting onto the scene — literally launched alongside the Black Hood while a crowd of onlookers, grinning monkeys, and assorted characters cheer them on. Speech bubbles proclaim Pokey "the funniest funny man of them all," and the energy of the whole image backs that claim up nicely. True to its tagline — "A Joke Book That's Really Funny!" — this ten-cent issue of Top-Notch Laugh Comics promises a genuinely good time.
