Four Color #1119

In "The Dangerous Vacation," a pair of rare whooping cranes build a nest near Smokey's cabin, drawing the attention of Gimp and Slick, who see a chance to profit from a dramatic photo op. As a coyote approaches the nest, the duo tries to keep Smokey from intervening, hoping to capture the moment on film. Morris Gollub’s expressive art brings the wilderness and tension to life, with his distinctive pencils and inks defining every frame. The cover by Gollub captures the scene’s suspense in vivid detail.
