In "Atlantis," Spunky takes a surprising turn from boxing to ventriloquism, using his voice to outwit Sid Squirrel in a clever showdown. When he faces the formidable Gorilla Gus, who can't hear a thing, Spunky’s next move becomes even more unexpected. Art by Phil De Lara brings the antics to life, while L. B. Cole’s cover captures the high-stakes tension of the jungle showdown.
