The Adventures of Peter Wheat #17

In this 1949 adventure, Peter Wheat, Dragonel, and Beetle team up to build a fort on a mysterious island—only to find themselves cornered when hornet knights uncover their hiding place. With Beetle and Dragonfly forced down in a daring flight for help, the fate of the trio hangs in the balance until Beetle makes a desperate return with Sammy Sweet and the bakers. Written and illustrated by Walt Kelly, this free-issue classic captures the spirit of wartime camaraderie and imaginative escapism in a story that’s as charming as it is suspenseful.
