Beetle Bailey #16
In "Heat Wave," Beetle Bailey finds himself in a whirlwind of mistaken identities when his pen-pal romance takes a bizarre turn—faking photos of movie stars leads to an unexpected twist involving a jet-pilot trainee and a rival for his date. Written by Jack Mendelsohn and drawn by Tony DiPreta, this 1958 Dell comic captures the humor of military life with a dash of absurdity, all framed by Mort Walker’s classic cover art.
