Sometimes listed as Comics on Parade Vol. 1 #9. Early in the transformation of comic strips to comic books, United Features Syndicate published Comics on Parade as a showcase for its most popular strips, including Tarzan, Li'l Abner and Nancy. Ambushed and thrown overboard, Tarzan is believed dead by Jane, while Tarzan's civilized cousin stands to claim both Tarzan's title and Jane herself. Bathless Groggins has a gadget that will win Slats the race and Judy's hand. But Becky Groggins, in love with Slats, plans to do something desperate. In Wonderland, Alice meets the Caterpillar and tries to control her size changes. Plus a Li'l Abner storyline by Al Capp, and an illustrated biography of screen legend Clark Gable.
