The Pink Panther #12
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Pink Noon," the Pink Panther finds himself stranded on a bizarre island after fleeing the captain of a cruise ship, where he must navigate a series of absurd trials—including a bumbling big game hunter named Little Big Nose Guy, a zany Tarpit of the Apes and his pet Jeeter, and a tribe that insists he summon rain as the "Pink Spirit." Written by Michael Maltese and brought to life with energetic art by Phil De Lara (pencils and inks), this 1973 Western Publishing comic delivers a delightfully offbeat adventure, with color by the Western Publishing Production Shop and lettering by Larry Mayer. The cover, also by De Lara, captures the chaos in bold, playful detail.
In "Pink Along With Me," the Pink Panther flees the captain of the S.S. Sea Joy, only to land on a wild island where Little Big Nose Guy is hunting big game, Tarpit of the Apes and his pet Jeeter are causing chaos, and a group of natives insists the Pink Spirit must make it rain. With his usual flair for getting into trouble—and just as much charm—Pink Panther navigates the island’s absurd challenges, each more ridiculous than the last, before finding his way back toward the ship he jumped from.
The Inspector is on the trail of Electro the Elusive, a master thief who slips through wires and screens with ease—leaving chaos in his wake. When the crook strikes a bank and vanishes into a live broadcast, the Inspector must follow him through a tangled web of signals, all the way to the luxurious yacht of billionaire Aersol O'Nostril, where the chase heats up among the guests, the cook, and a suspicious jewelry store salesman.
When Little Big Nose Guy’s canine obedience school struggles to attract students, he turns to the Pink Panther for help—thinking his flair for showmanship and rhythm can drum up some business. But the Panther’s wild ideas, combined with a Women’s Lib protestor, a confused cop, and a pack of overly enthusiastic dogs, quickly turn the training sessions into a chaotic, tail-wagging spectacle.
