Four Color #527
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis cheerful 1954 Dell one-shot captures Charlie McCarthy in full winter glory, with the dapper wooden-faced ventriloquist dummy confidently gliding on ice skates while a polka-dotted companion takes an undignified spill on the frozen surface below him. Harvey Eisenberg's bright, cartoony art brings a snowy evergreen backdrop to life with warm holiday-season energy that practically leaps off the cover. A delightful slice of mid-century comics charm, all for a dime.

While visiting a wax museum, Mortimer accidentally finds a string of pearls in the dummy of Napoleon. Mortimer and Charlie give the guard the pearls, only to later find out he is part of a jewel-smuggling gang. The pair are captured and imprisoned in the gang's hide-out in an old house, but manage to escape. The police don't believe their story, so Charlie and Mortimer come up with their own plan to capture the crooks.
