Torchy #5

Jul 1950 · Quality Comics · 0.10 USD
“The Terrible Tangle”

In "The Terrible Tangle," Torchy finds herself in a sticky situation when a broken wax Cleopatra at the museum sets off a chain of events that lands her in a fancy luncheon—dressed as the ancient queen. Bill Ward’s dynamic art brings the gilded chaos to life, from the museum’s eerie displays to the glittering social scene, all in a 1950s tale where a single broken statue can unravel a day.
