Walter Lantz Woody Woodpecker

Based on the classic cartoon character, this long-running series from Magazine Management brought Woody Woodpecker’s chaotic antics to the printed page for nearly two decades. Spanning 25 issues from 1968 to 1985, the comic was most frequently illustrated by Bill Weaver, whose energetic art captured the bird’s signature zaniness. It stands as a key example of how beloved animated stars of the era were translated into a steady, kid-friendly comic book format.
