The Three Stooges #40

Sep 1968 · Western · 0.15 USD
“Grime Squad”

In "Grime Squad," the Three Stooges—ever the misfit entrepreneurs—turn to a wildly improbable scheme after their organ-grinding act flops, this time aiming to make a fortune by pitting Curly Joe against Crusho the Great, a fearsome gorilla. With Pete Alvarado’s expressive art and Tony DiPaola’s crisp inks and lettering, this 1968 Western Comics gem delivers classic slapstick chaos in a 15-cent package.
