Classics Illustrated Junior #519

In Classics Illustrated Junior #519 (1955), the legendary lumberjack Paul Bunyan takes center stage in a tall tale brought to life by Mike Sekowsky and Bill Walsh’s dynamic artwork, with Frank Giacoia and Bill Walsh handling the inks. Paul, famed for his colossal size and boundless strength, journeys through the wilderness with his loyal companions Babe the Blue Ox and Skookum, the dog who always walks downhill—legend has it he shaped the Grand Canyon and even sparked the eruption of Old Faithful. Dik Browne’s vivid cover captures the story’s larger-than-life spirit, making this a standout entry in the series.
