Written by Vic Lockman and illustrated by Joe Messerli, this 1980 Western Publishing classic captures Woody’s misadventure with classic slapstick flair, all wrapped in a cover by Frank McSavage.
When a sweltering summer day leads Woody and the kids to a secluded beach, they’re surprised to find the water unnaturally cold—thanks to a massive iceberg that’s somehow stranded in the middle of the shore. With Knothead and Splinter baffled and the unnamed guy in parka eyeing the ice with suspicious interest, the mystery only deepens when Harry the submarine commander shows up with questions of his own.
When Winnie showers her favorite movie star, Rod Rockcliff, with adoration, Woody Woodpecker decides it’s time to step into the spotlight—literally. After a dramatic makeover inspired by Rod’s dashing image, Woody’s transformation is so convincing that two kidnappers mistake him for the star and make off with him. Now, with a fake celebrity identity and a real-life crisis, Woody must navigate the chaos of being the world’s most unlikely hero for a day.
In "The Rain War," Woody Woodpecker and Buzz Buzzard go head-to-head as cloud-seeders in a high-stakes race to bring rain to the parched valley of Flakey Flats. When Buzz sabotages Woody’s efforts, the determined woodpecker seeks help from the reclusive Harry the Hermit, who may hold the key to turning the tide—literally.
