Torchy #5
In "The Terrible Tangle," Torchy finds herself unexpectedly playing Cleopatra when a wax dummy at the museum is damaged—first by Ed, then by a series of unforeseen events that pull her into a whirlwind of mistaken identity. With Bill Ward handling both the interior art and the cover, this 1950 Bell Features gem captures a moment of whimsy and charm, all in a 10-cent comic that's a must for vintage comic collectors.
