Beetle Bailey Thin Air (Giant Size) #56109-0 [12]

This 1985 giant-size Tor Books collection from Mort Walker lines up four familiar Camp Swampy soldiers — helmets on, packs strapped tight — teetering right at the edge of a cliff, with the last figure peering nervously over into open air below. The gag is set up perfectly before you've even cracked the spine: someone is about to step into nothing but "thin air," and the expressions running down that line tell the whole story. A satisfying chunk of Walker's beloved military comedy strip, packaged in an oversized format that gives the gags plenty of room to breathe.
