Willy Wigwam & Eaglebeak

A charmingly oddball four-issue series from the mid-1950s, Willy Wigwam & Eaglebeak was published by the Young's Merchandising Company and stands as a singular, self-contained creation by writer-artist Reg Hicks. The series follows the adventures of its titular duo, a young boy and his eagle companion, in a style that feels both of its era and distinctly personal. Though brief, it's a notable artifact of a smaller publisher's foray into comics, showcasing Hicks's complete creative control over a quirky, all-ages premise.
