Swing with Scooter #8

Aug 1967 · DC · 0.12 USD
“"The Curse of the Far-Out Pharaoh!" or "How We Became the First Bikini-Sized Teenagers Because Sylvester Is Such a Clumsy Dum-Dum!"”

In "The Curse of the Far-Out Pharaoh!" from Swing with Scooter #8 (1967), a school trip to the museum takes a wild turn when Sylvester accidentally unleashes an ancient curse by opening a sarcophagus—shrinking the entire gang down to bikini-sized proportions. Written by Barbara Friedlander and Jack Miller, with art by Joe Orlando and inks by Mike Esposito, the story follows the teens as they scramble to reverse the spell before it spreads to the whole town. The cover, penciled by Orlando and inked by Esposito, captures the absurdity of the moment with a perfectly timed, exaggerated splash of chaos.
