Criminals on the Run #7
(Vol 4 #7)

June/July 1949
This is the classic fish in the face comic and it is definitely one of the most creative and whimsical covers of all time! L.B. Cole could draw wildlife with incredible skill as is demonstrated by his prowess with the unfortunate trout here! One has to admit the guy throwing the fish has incredible skill in throwing the slippery devil at his nemesis! This is one heck of a tough book to find! In fact, Gerber estimates that less than 200 known copies exist! BTW, there is at least one other fish in the face cover: Blue Bolt #95 (Vol 9 #5).
