“Unbottled Ship”

Walter Lantz's mischievous bird is front and center on this 1947 Dell issue, with Woody Woodpecker charging across a snowy landscape, clutching a fistful of snowballs and wearing that unmistakable wild-eyed grin — pine trees dotting the wintry hills behind him. The cover tagline "Man Hunter of the North" promises some frosty high-spirited adventure, all rendered with crisp, expressive linework by cover artist Dick Hall. Inside, writer John Stanley and artist Dick Hall team up to deliver the full Woody experience for a dime.
