Beetle Bailey the Rough Riders (Giant Size) #49-007-0 [3]

This 1982 Giant Size collection from Tor Books brings Mort Walker's beloved Camp Swampy gang to the open road — or at least tries to. The cover says it all: Beetle and Sarge are careening through a chaotic jeep ride, complete with a tree-crunching collision rendered in gloriously bold comic lettering, ice cream cones flying and mayhem in full swing. At $2.50, "The Rough Riders" promised a generous helping of Walker's signature slapstick, and that cover delivers the fun before you even crack the spine.
