Neal Adams' fourth and final turn as artist on DC Comics' The Adventures Of Bob Hope was also the end of the title's long run. Its first issue was cover-dated February-March 1950, and it ran 109 issues, hitting the road to cancellation in 1968. That's a very long and healthy run, but the era of successful newsstand celebrity comic books had passed. Only DC's The Adventures Of Jerry Lewis soldiered on much longer, hitting its quiet finale in 1971.
It's unclear who holds the rights to this material, but The Adventures Of Bob Hope is presumed to be copyright the respective owner(s). Its appearance here is intended as fair use. As I said before, it's unfortunate that rights issues will likely prevent DC's The Adventures Of Bob Hope and The Adventures Of Jerry Lewis from ever being reprinted; they're decent humor comics on the whole, and they deserve to be preserved. But right here on this blog, you can read The Adventures Of Bob Hope # 106, The Adventures Of Bob Hope # 107, and The Adventures Of Bob Hope # 108. I wish I had some earlier ones to share. But for now, one more time: Thanks for the memories.
