Alley Oop in Ancient China #[nn]

V. T. Hamlin's beloved caveman adventurer lands in a lush, tree-lined forest setting on this eye-catching cover, where the grinning, barrel-chested Alley Oop faces down a group of wary figures — one of whom sends a conical straw hat spinning through the air — while an armed, red-robed observer watches cautiously from the left. The scene crackles with Hamlin's signature blend of slapstick tension and cross-cultural chaos, rendered in his characteristically loose, expressive linework. Collected and presented by Acoustic Learning in 2025, this is a fine showcase of one of newspaper comics' most enduring time-traveling heroes.
