Torchy #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Terrible Tangle," Torchy finds herself unexpectedly playing Cleopatra when a wax dummy at the museum is damaged—first by Ed, then by a series of unforeseen events that pull her into a whirlwind of mistaken identity. With Bill Ward handling both the interior art and the cover, this 1950 Bell Features gem captures a moment of whimsy and charm, all in a 10-cent comic that's a must for vintage comic collectors.
When Ed Tracy opens a parking lot, he enlists Torchy to learn how to drive—only to find her borrowed car mysteriously involved in a bank robbery, with an identical vehicle used at the same time. With Tess watching from the sidelines, the mix-up sends Torchy racing to clear her name.
When Ed accidentally breaks the Cleopatra wax figure at the museum, Torchy steps in—dressed as the legendary queen—to cover for him. But her impersonation leads to an unexpected invitation to a businessman’s luncheon, turning a simple fix into a whirlwind of awkward charm.
