*DC: We explore the quirkier side of Golden Age DC from the Midas Collection this week with this selection of humorous titles from the 40s and 50s. From the sitcom-like stories of Ozzie & Harriet, to the newspaper strip reprints featured in Fat & Slat and Mutt & Jeff, to the cartoon antics in Leading Comics (Peter Porkchops and chums), and Real Screen Comics (Fox & Crow and chums), this is certainly an unusual bunch of material that you don’t see coming up for sale too often in the UK. A good taster of what DC was producing for laughs in this bygone era.
