DOUBLE FEATURE: Hot Stuff And Stumbo The Giant
Today we're going to look at two legendary ground-breaking stories (not really) from the "House Of Ideals", Harvey Comics.
from DEVIL KIDS #4, January 1963
In a rare instance, Harvey Comics tries a slight homage at the old EC line with a twist ending. Possibly a first in the post-code era (trivia buffs will know that Harvey had the distinction of publishing a comic with the most disgusting cover of all time).
Next up, from the same comic, another short featuring our favorite golden-hearted idiot, STUMBO:
Yes, Stumbo did "break the fourth wall" right there in that last panel, years before Ambush Bug or Deadpool made it popular.
So there you have it, folks! Two stories (in one issue, even) that set the standard for years to come (not really).
