DC in the 50s, they published this?
After the market fell out of the superhero genre after WW II comics thrashed about tring to find the `next big think', which mostly turned out of be horror and crime, but after pressor from various freelance nannies and the Comic Code put that down the hunt was on again.
This led DC to publish some eccentric non-superhero comics from the late 40s through the 50s.
Along with Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope, they tried a non-comic comic inspired by Hollywood star Alan Ladd (Shane, the Glass Key), which was fair enough, I suppose, since in his first appearance the Gold-Age Green Lantern was called Alan Ladd until they found out there was an actor with that name, so they changed his name to Scott Alan.

DC Comics on sale in August, 1978
Heard during the pitch meeting for new comics at DC Comics in 1978, "Okay, we still have the rights to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, but haven't used it since 1963, so let's do another one, only in the summer, and we called Rudolph's Summer Fun."
Editor, "Are you drunk?" Writer, "No." Editor, "Alright, let's go with it, but make it a two-dollar issue."
With characters: Bruce "Doc" Sellers (Doctor); Darcy Vale (Commander); Jake Hammersmith; Mindy Yano; Dr. Theodore "Mac" McGavin (Exobiologist,) ; Ozzie (ship's computer of the Sunrider II)
And in this issue, a character called Groote, about whom I can find nothing.
Comic's Journal devoted a cover and a long article about this new comic from DC.
It was canceled after issue # 7.
