Four Color #1034
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Sign Painter," Sluggo finds himself left behind when every other kid heads off to summer camp—his only real chance at joining comes when Mr. McOnion pays his fare, just to be rid of him for the season. Written by John Stanley and brought to life with expressive art by Dan Gormley, this 1959 Four Color issue captures the quiet humor and small-town charm of a kid determined to make his mark, one painted sign at a time. The cover by Dan Gormley perfectly frames the moment with a playful, nostalgic touch.
Sluggo’s summer plans hit a mudball when he’s left behind while his friends head off to camp—until Mr. McOnion, fed up with his antics, pays for his ticket just to keep him out of trouble. Now, with a backpack full of hopes and a mud-splattered grin, Sluggo’s off to camp, where the real adventure has just begun.
In "The Muddy Lake," Sluggo accidentally turns a peaceful lake into a bubbling chaos when his detergent spray gun goes haywire during a prank on some boys in warpaint. The chase leads him straight into the water, where the unexpected foam spreads faster than anyone could’ve imagined.
In "A Midnight Stroll," Nancy follows her friend Oona through a hidden door beneath a bush in the forest, leading them down a mysterious passage guarded by the curious Yoyos—only to emerge at the fireplace of Oona’s home. The quiet magic of the night and the quiet thrill of a secret journey make this a gentle, whimsical adventure from Four Color #1034.
