About the series

Marvel’s Comedy (1951–1964) ran for 72 issues, serving as a mid-century showcase for slapstick and absurdist humor. Best known for the grotesque, offbeat gags of frequent writer Basil Wolverton, the series also featured the clean cartooning of artists like Bill Ward, Bill Wenzel, and Dan DeCarlo. It stands as a lively artifact of Marvel’s pre-superhero era, when the publisher leaned heavily into lighthearted, gag-driven storytelling.
