In "The Icy Mystery," Woody Woodpecker’s envy of TV star Rod Rockcliff leads him to a dramatic makeover—complete with a topknot and new duds—only to be mistaken for the celebrity and kidnapped by a pair of crooks demanding a ransom. Written by Vic Lockman and illustrated by Joe Messerli, this 1980 Western Publishing classic captures Woody’s misadventure with classic slapstick flair, all wrapped in a cover by Frank McSavage.
