Vintage 1978 Arrow Books - 1941 The Illustrated Story Large Paperback Book By Stephen Bissette And Rick Veitch

Vintage 1978 Arrow Books - 1941 The Illustrated Story Large Paperback Book By Stephen Bissette And Rick Veitch. Released by Heavy Metal / Arrow Books in 1978 and was the full comic adaptation of the comedy movie. This fantastic 1941 The Illustrated story large paperback book is a comic strip adaptation of the hilarious Screwball type comedy movie which starred Dan Ackroyd and  John Bellushi.

The plot, adapted by Allan Asherman, concerns one night in December of that year when Hollywood was panicked by sightings of Japanese planes and submarines. One week after the devastation of Pearl Harbor, much of America, and particularly the West Coast, was terrified of an invasion by the Imperial Forces of Emperor Hirohito.

In this tale one lone sub, borrowed from the Nazis, actually fetches up on the balmy shores of La-La land, but is largely ignored by the populace. The panic actually starts when gormless Zoot-Suiters Wally and Denny use an air-raid siren to distract store patrons and staff so that they can shop-lift new outfits, and peaks later when the feckless wastrels start a fist-fight at a USO (United Services Organisation) Dance. From there chaos and commotion carry this tale to its conclusion. Very Good Condition vintage paperback book with only very minor signs of wear on the covers edges, internal condition is near mint. A truly wonderful example of a vintage comic adaptation of a classic comedy movie. All orders received before 4.00pm Monday to Fridays are shipped the same day.
