National Comics #66
In "The Man Who Hated Circuses," a 1948 Quality Comics gem, Bernard Dibble crafts a quietly suspenseful tale as Roberta grows uneasy over mysterious monster footprints in the woods—only to uncover a surprisingly simple, canine explanation. With Dibble handling writing, art, and inks, and Klaus Nordling’s moody cover capturing the story’s eerie tone, this issue blends small-town mystery with a touch of whimsy, all in a 10-cent comic from the golden age.
