Jan 1971 · New American Library · 1.25 USD
“Fishing”

"Fishing" is a delightfully absurd comic strip parody that turns Broadway musical tropes on their head, featuring Rex Morgan’s bizarre scheme to steal Annie’s eyes—only to be thwarted by a surprisingly coordinated rescue led by Sandy, Dick Tracy, and Tarzan, with unexpected help from Snuffy Smith. Written by Frank Jacobs and brought to life with energetic art by Wally Wood, the issue’s cover by Norman Mingo captures the zany spirit of the story in bold, expressive lines.
