DC had a huge hit in the 1950s and ’60s with a comic based on the wacky onscreen persona of comedian Jerry Lewis. The book started as a two-hander with Lewis’ original comedy partner Dean Martin; when that duo went their separate ways, the book carried on as just The Adventures of Jerry Lewis for another 80 issues.

It’s tough to keep track of where Jerry Lewis stands at DC with all of the company’s reboots and restarts through the years, but maybe some NICE LADY! can tell us whether they’re still considered part of DC canon.
