Montmorency the Worm

Wriggling into comics history in 1952, Montmorency the Worm is a delightful little oddity from DC's Golden Age funny-animal stable, brought to life by the wonderfully inventive Sheldon Mayer. This tiny character shares the pages of Peter Porkchops and Movietown's Animal Antics with a colorful cast including Peter Porkchops, Doodles Duck, and Bernard the Brave — charming company in DC's lighthearted corner of postwar comics. With only a handful of appearances across a brief 1952–1954 window, Montmorency is a genuine rarity, the kind of obscure gem that makes flipping through Golden Age back issues such a rewarding adventure for dedicated collectors.
