Spaced Out Herbie #1

In "Space-Age Herbie!", Herbie takes a job with the eccentric Dr. Dimwit after his father’s balloon company flops—only to find himself launched into a bizarre cosmic adventure when Dimwit unveils Planet Percival, a world where lollipops pack a surprising punch. Written by a team known for their playful absurdity and drawn with a delightfully offbeat flair, this 11-page romp blends sci-fi silliness with a touch of superhero satire, all centered on a boy, a candy-powered planet, and the wild idea that sweetness might just be the key to interstellar travel.

In "Race Through Space!", Herbie’s determined to build a swimming pool, so he hitches a ride on a space race his dad entered—only to take matters into his own paws when he discovers his neighbor Professor Flipdome’s rocket is unattended. With a crew of animal friends and a makeshift ship, Herbie blasts off, facing off against the slick and sneaky Black Bumby, who’s got no intention of letting a kid steal the spotlight.
