Beetle Bailey [Giant Comic Album]

A one-shot 1972 giant-size comic album from the Modern era, this oversized collection gathered classic Beetle Bailey newspaper strips into a single, durable package. Published by Gold Key, it offered readers a generous serving of Mort Walker's iconic, long-running military humor, spotlighting the lazy private and his Camp Swampy comrades. While brief in its single-issue run, it stands as a notable, early example of the newspaper strip being compiled for the comic-book format.
