Four Color #1122

In "Test Hop," young Jo and his dog Chilly find themselves at the center of a small-town surprise when Patty gifts Chilly boxing gloves to keep him warm—only for a series of accidental knockouts to turn the local bully into a reluctant champion. With the townspeople rallying behind him, Chilly is matched against the fearsome Roundhouse Octopus, the World's Anyweight Champion, in a fight that’s less about skill and more about the unexpected. Art by Veve Risto, with cover by John Carey, this 1960 Dell comic captures a quirky, heartfelt moment in a world where even a dog can become a legend.
