Four Color #979
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Buying Toys," a 1959 Four Color comic, Oswald finds himself far from his usual beat when he’s sent to cover a baseball team’s spring training—only to be chased out by a string of mishaps. After stumbling upon a witch who teaches him an un-hittable "witch-pitch," Oswald gets a chance to pitch for the team, but the boys soon suspect something’s off. Jack Bradbury handles both the interior art and the cover, bringing his distinctive style to this whimsical, offbeat tale of mischief and magic in the world of sports.
In "The Witch Pitch," Oswald, a flustered sports reporter, stumbles into a bizarre spring training camp where chaos follows him at every turn—until he meets a mischievous witch who teaches him an un-hittable pitch. With the boys’ help, Oswald gets his chance to pitch for the team, but soon the truth begins to unravel: the witch’s magic may be threatening the very game they love.
In "The Trembling Trestle," a frantic race against time begins when beavers undermine a railroad trestle, threatening the next train’s passage. Oswald, determined to warn the stationmaster, finds his car stolen by a pair of hillbillies—leaving him stranded in their decrepit jalopy, engine sputtering and brakes failing.
In "Supercharged," Jo and his friends find their new synthetic pants sparking trouble—literally. As the friction of their fluff-tailed trousers builds up static electricity, their tails begin to store power, leading to unexpected and increasingly wild side effects.
