Snow White

A Dell comics adaptation of the classic fairy-tale princess, Snow White appeared in a 1938 issue of Mickey Mouse Magazine, bringing the story of the fairest in the land — imperiled by a jealous queen — to comic-book readers following Disney's landmark animated film.

Stepping straight out of the Platinum Age, Snow White made her comics debut in Mickey Mouse Magazine back in 1938, placing her among the earliest characters to grace the pages of what would become a beloved medium. She's kept remarkable company over the decades — sharing adventures with Mickey Mouse and familiar faces like Sleepy, Happy, Sneezy, and Doc — and her presence across titles as varied as Disney's Enchanting Stories, Four Color, and even Mad speaks to a wonderfully eclectic comics life. With a publishing history stretching across more than eight decades and a key issue to her name, this is a character whose comics footprint carries the warm patina of genuine history. For collectors with a soft spot for the earliest days of American comics, Snow White is a Platinum Age treasure worth seeking out.
