Peter Rabbit #18
The issue contains two main stories. In the first story, Peter Rabbit and his cousin Elmer devise a plan to rescue Queen Betty, who has been kidnapped by Prince Droopard and taken to his castle; Peter travels to the castle while Elmer impersonates the queen at a coronation ceremony to fool the kingdom. In the second story, "The Caterpillar's Shoes," a caterpillar named Six Feet arrives at a forest party where a butler points out that Six Feet has three pairs of shoes while all other guests have only one pair, and Peter and Dazy encounter a villain who imprisons Peter's cousin Cicero before the story shifts to a space adventure where Peter joins Space Mouse and other characters on a rocket ship to investigate a freezing problem on the planet Uranus, encountering white knights on a polar landscape before concluding.
