Abbott and Costello

For three issues beginning in 1950, Derby Publishing brought the classic comedy duo of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello to the comic page. Illustrated most frequently by artist Eric Peters, this short-lived series captured the slapstick and rapid-fire wordplay that made the team famous, translating their vaudeville and film routines into a visual medium. It stands as a period piece of early 1950s pop culture, preserving the duo's humor for a new generation of readers.
