The New Funny Book

In 1977 and 1978, Larry Fuller Presents The New Funny Book, a short-lived two-issue comic series that aimed to revive classic humor in the medium. Primarily written by Bob Vojtko and Manuel Auad, with Vojtko also handling the art, the series was a quirky, creator-driven project from the late 1970s. It stands as a curious footnote in comics history, showcasing a deliberate throwback to lighthearted, gag-based storytelling during a period when the industry was increasingly shifting toward darker, more mature themes.
