About the series

From 1957 to 1971, DC Comics turned the manic energy of comedian Jerry Lewis into a long-running, 84-issue series of slapstick adventures. Writers like Jack Schiff, Bob Oksner, and Arnold Drake, alongside artists including Oksner, Sheldon Moldoff, and Owen Fitzgerald, crafted a surreal world where Jerry bumbled through misadventures with a cast of recurring oddballs like the scheming Witch Kraft, his cousin Renfrew Lewis, and the haughty Varsity Vic. A lighthearted showcase for visual gags and wacky situations, the series stands as a charming artifact of the Silver Age, capturing the era's fondness for celebrity comics and absurdist humor.
