Free to read · restored edition by comicbooks.com · Issue details →
In "Adventures in Bagdad," Bingo and his friend Glum visit Sinbad the Sailor in Bagdad, where a careless wish summons the giant Roc, leading to a wild ride as the boys must outwit the monstrous bird and find a way back home. With quick thinking and a clever plan involving a giant egg, they craft a makeshift sailboat and narrowly escape, only to face new trouble when the Roc returns—this time with a surprise of their own.
In a whimsical 1946 tale from *Jingle Jangle Comics*, the Double-Rich Banker’s well-watered hat-tree grows to impossible heights after a leaky spigot floods it, setting off a chain of zany events when a mahogany magpie steals the banker’s money bag. The bag tumbles through a series of absurd mishaps—from a half-baked pirate’s castle to a grenadier’s parade—before the banker climbs a vine to reclaim it, only to find himself stranded on a cloud with his hat, leading to a surreal journey that ends with unexpected riches and a new hat.
