Giant Jack!

Giant Jack is a grumpy pumpkin Dale created for a Halloween minicomic in 1987. Jack quickly found a new enjoyment in Halloween that year, for while he still enjoys a good scare, he's developed a real sweet tooth, as well. Since then he's found his way into other holidays as well . . .

Giant Jack finally breaks into the big time! Well ... at any rate, it's the first time he's appeared in a format larger than a minicomic - "The Night of 1001 Pranks!" is a Halloween story starring the giant pumpkin and some of his spooky friends. This comic also features the Halloween short "The Night of the Fly" and the collaborative comic "Watusi, the Talking Dog" (by Dale, Larned Justin, and B. Winter); currently out of print.
