National Comics #64
In "The Human Fly!", a lighthearted 1948 adventure from Quality Comics, Salty’s attempt to set up his Navy buddy Jake with a date takes a bizarre turn when Jake is tasked with delivering a present—a monkey in a sailor suit—to the captain’s nephew. When Elixia and Benicia misidentify the primate as Jake himself, chaos ensues, all drawn in the distinctive style of Bernard Dibble, who handles writing, art, and inks. The cover, by Klaus Nordling, captures the zany energy of the tale.
