Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines

Published in 1965 by Western Publishing, this one-shot comic adapts the slapstick comedy of the classic film, following a cast of eccentric aviators competing in a wild cross-country air race. Writer Paul S. Newman and artist Tom Gill capture the era's zany spirit and daredevil charm, turning the movie's aerial antics into a brisk, playful comic adventure. It stands as a lighthearted, period-specific tie-in that showcases the duo's knack for translating cinematic humor to the page.
