Walter Lantz Woody Woodpecker Christmas Parade

From 1969, this one-shot holiday special from Western Publishing brought the chaotic energy of Walter Lantz’s Woody Woodpecker to the comic page. Written by Don R. Christensen and illustrated by John Carey, the issue delivers a festive, gag-filled adventure as Woody’s schemes collide with Christmas cheer. A charming snapshot of late-’60s licensed comics, it’s a lighthearted seasonal treat for fans of the classic cartoon bird.
