Jingle Jangle Comics #11

A wide-hearted snowman with cold feet embarks on a wild quest after finding a mysterious message-in-a-bottle advertising an unhaunted castle—and along the way teams up with an unemployed ghost and a tuneful tinker for a journey that's equal parts absurd and heartwarming. Created by George Carlson, this 1944 romp is full of the gloriously nonsensical humor and inventive wordplay that makes Jingle Jangle Comics such a delight, where nothing quite makes sense but everything feels exactly right. By the time the snowman and his ragtag companions reach Aunt Eureka's castle, you'll discover that sometimes the best adventures are the ones where everyone—even out-of-work ghosts—finds exactly what they were looking for.

When Bingo and Glum visit Fairytale Land, they discover a cursed prince transformed into a beast by a wicked witch—and the only way to break the spell is to get a fair maiden to kiss him. To help, the two adventurers must retrieve a magical key by outwitting King Morpheus and his three terror-dogs, all while the witch schemes to stop them at every turn. It's a wild race through fantasy realms to reunite the beast with the girl who might save him.

Hortense and her mother visit a famous author's home, but when she's left alone in his study to look at books, the young girl discovers something extraordinary: the books themselves can talk, and they're plotting to stop the author from writing more stories. When a magical mishap pulls Hortense into the pages of the author's unfinished manuscript, she finds herself face-to-face with a monster unleashed by the scheming books—and she'll need all her wits to survive the chaos she's stumbled into.
