Top Notch Laugh Comics #29

A golden blast of slapstick energy leaps off this September 1942 cover by Bob Montana, where a yellow-costumed hero sends a wide-eyed, hat-flying kid somersaulting through the air in a burst of comic mayhem. Laughing faces, a grinning monkey, and a cluster of amused onlookers crowd the edges, all in on the joke — and the cover's own tagline says it best: "Thar he goes, flying high, everybody's laughing fit to die, at Pokey Oaxey, the funny guy!" Inside, Don Dean handles the full creative duties on "The Mold Strikes!", making this a genuinely fun package of early-'40s humor comics charm.
