Willie the Penguin #5
In "The Treasure of Monte Cristo," Willie the Penguin stumbles into a delightfully absurd moment at the movies—where his wide-open mouth isn’t out of fear, but out of pure popcorn-catching precision. With art by Chad Grothkopf handling both interior and cover, this 1952 Pines comic delivers a lighthearted, visually playful tale that turns a simple theater visit into a whimsical adventure.
