“The Life of Babe Ruth Chapter One”
Babe Ruth Sports Comics #1 (1949) kicks off with "The Life of Babe Ruth Chapter One," a dynamic full-page splash by Al Avison that captures the legendary slugger in his iconic batting pose, standing triumphantly atop a podium labeled "King of Swat." Surrounded by exploding balloons listing his career records—like "Most Home Runs for A Career 714" and "Most... RBI's..Career"—the image celebrates Ruth’s enduring legacy with bold, energetic art.
