Funnies Album #[18]/1959
"Case of the Sacred Cobra" is a delightfully odd little tale from 1958, written and drawn entirely by Bill McCail, whose singular voice brings to life a Moon-born wanderer who stumbles into Earth’s holiday spirit. With a quiet charm and a touch of cosmic whimsy, the story follows a bus conductor’s unusual encounter with a small man from the Moon, whose curiosity about Christmas customs leads to something unexpected. The cover by David Williams captures the story’s gentle surrealism, making this a standout in the Funnies Album series.
