CharltonÕs Abbott and Costello Volume 1. This one's a big one! The first 12 issues of CharltonÕs Abbott and Costello are generally considered to be some of the BEST comedy books of the Bronze Age. These are based on the 1967-1968 animated TV series The Abbott and Costello Cartoon Show, which was based on the act of comedy duo Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. Which, in and of itself is reason enough to be impressed, but the first 12 issues showcase the UNPARALLELED writing of Steve Skeates and the artwork of Henry Scarpelli! The series would continue for a total of 22 issues and continues with the amazing art of Henry Scrapelli. We will be reprinting the entire series, but in comic history, the first 12 issues of this series are considered legendary. Reprinted for the first time ever, Volume 1 reprints issues 1-6. Standard Color Softcover.
