Cover by Charles Payne. The classic comedy duo of TV, radio and film starred in this comic at the height of their careers. Possibly the first comic based on real-life comedy stars. This issue also features the only comics adaptation of an Abbott and Costello movie, 1947's "The Wistful Widow of Wagon Gap." Traveling salesmen are accused of murder in a small town, but are released if they agree to care for the murdered man's widow. But the Widow Hawkins and her large brood of children may work the duo to death instead. From Riches to Rags; The Wistful Widow of Wagon Gap. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
