...comic books, but when their popularity is on the wane publishers turn to other measures. There are funny comics, and there are attempts to make otherwise serious books humorous, (an approach that seldom, if ever, works). It makes sense that a publisher like DC comics might have turned to two legendary funnymen to try and inject their pulpy...

...comic books? Probably not, but that isn't stopping developers from having a crack at bringing the funnies to your pocket.
