In "Weighty Problem," Woody Woodpecker and the kids find themselves in a whirlwind adventure when pirates attack and they flee to a mysterious island home to a sheep that might just be the legendary Golden Fleece. With the pirates hot on their heels, the escape becomes a race against time—until a cruise ship comes to their rescue. Written by Don R. Christensen and brought to life with bold, energetic art by John Carey (who also handled inks, lettering, and cover), this 1961 Dell comic captures the zany spirit of the era, with Carey’s dynamic visuals making every panel pop.
