In "Fred the Barbarian," Fred and his family of space-traveling hillbillies crash-land in Asgard, sparking a clash with Thor that threatens to shake the realm. With Sal Buscema’s dynamic art and Joe Sinnott’s sharp inks bringing the cosmic chaos to life, Sif steps in with an unexpected peace offering—Hostess Fruit Pies. Roger Armstrong and Joe Prince deliver a vibrant cover that captures the absurd spectacle.

In "Go South, Young Bear," Yogi Bear sets off on a misadventurous journey, convinced a sunny, palm-tree paradise awaits down south—only to find himself on a plane bound for the opposite end of the world. With his usual mix of confidence and cluelessness, he’s in for a chilly surprise he never saw coming.
