B&V Friends Double Digest Magazine #264

In "The (Not so Frozen) Snow Queen," Nancy finds herself caught between two very different demands from her art patrons—Chuck, who wants her perfectly still despite an itchy distraction, and Ethel, who insists she keep moving after a long, exhausting day. Written by Mike Pellowski and brought to life with vibrant energy by artist Stan Goldberg and inker Bob Smith, this lighthearted story captures the playful tension of creative collaboration. The cover, by Bill Golliher and Jim Amash, perfectly captures the whimsical mood of the issue.
