Woody Woodpecker #10
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Rain War," Woody Woodpecker’s envy of his friend Winnie’s obsession with TV star Rod Rockcliff leads him to a dramatic makeover—complete with a topknot, new clothes, and a fitness routine—only to be mistaken for the celebrity himself by a pair of kidnappers. Written by Vic Lockman and illustrated by Joe Messerli, with lettering by Larry Mayer, this 1994 Harvey Comics adventure captures Woody’s misadventure with classic slapstick flair. The cover, by Jorge Pacheco, perfectly captures the chaos of the moment.
In "The Rain War," Woody Woodpecker teams up with Buzz Buzzard in a sky-high race to seed clouds over the parched valley of Flakey Flats, but when Buzz sabotages him, Woody finds an unlikely ally in the reclusive Harry the Hermit—whose wisdom just might be the key to turning the tide.
When a scorching summer day sends Woody and the kids searching for a cool swim, they stumble upon a deserted stretch of beach—only to find the water unnaturally icy, thanks to a massive iceberg that’s somehow stranded in the middle of the shore. With Knothead and Splinter baffled, and the mysterious iceberg defying all logic, the fun turns frosty as the crew tries to figure out what’s behind the chill, even as an unnamed guy in a parka and a grumpy saw mill operator, Otto, take notice.
When Winnie showers adoration on her screen idol Rod Rockcliff, Woody Woodpecker decides he’s ready for his own spotlight—so he hits the gym, dons a topknot, and reinvents his look to become a real-life version of the star. His transformation is so convincing that two kidnappers mistake him for the celebrity and make off with him, setting off a chaotic chain of events in the middle of a moviegoing crowd.
