About the series
From 1948 to 1956, St. John Publications brought the beloved slapstick comedy duo to the funny pages with Abbott and Costello Comics. Spanning 40 issues, the series translated the pair's classic vaudeville and film routines into comic form, with frequent contributions from writers Bud Abbott, Bert N. Dean, and John Graham, and artists including a young Mort Drucker and the painted work of Eric Peters. It stands as a lively, era-specific artifact of post-war pop culture, preserving the timeless, bickering chemistry of Abbott and Costello for a new generation of readers.
