☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeJack-in-the-Box Comics #14 is an anthology featuring at least two stories. "Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow" depicts a high-school junior named Breezy who runs a hair-growing business using "Bushbringer's Hair Grower and Curler," which he promotes through increasingly elaborate schemes to draw crowds. A second story features a medieval fantasy sequence involving a character named Perceval at King Arthur's court, where a brutal knight insults Queen Guinevere and Perceval questions a wizard about his identity. The issue also includes "Yoshkee and Sniffer," a humorous domestic strip in which a young boy named Yoshkee asks his mother for a dog while a parrot and mother are present.
Breezy, a high-school junior with a knack for quick schemes, spots a chance to strike it rich when he and his girlfriend Ginger decide to manufacture their own hair-growth formula—but their "Bushbringer" product turns out to have some spectacularly unintended side effects. When the formula backfires on everyone who uses it, Breezy and his friends find themselves in a hairy situation that lands them working for the very salesman who started it all.
When fire breaks out at sea, modern naval firefighters spring into action with specially developed equipment and training to battle the blaze and rescue survivors. This nonfiction account follows these brave crews as they respond to shipboard fires, aircraft emergencies, and more, showcasing the asbestos suits, chemical apparatus, and rigorous drills that have transformed maritime firefighting from a desperate scramble into a coordinated science.
Sir Perceval arrives at King Arthur's court as an untested young man raised in the woods, only to face mockery from the knights—until a brutal outsider insults Queen Guenever and Perceval alone steps forward to answer the challenge. With nothing but his natural skill and unwavering resolve, this unlikely hero proves that purity of spirit can triumph where courtly sophistication fails, earning his place among Arthur's finest.
