Comic Cavalcade #35

A cheerful burst of cartoon mayhem fills the cover of this 1949 DC anthology, where a hapless figure pedals furiously on a red bicycle while a sharp-dressed crow rolls a giant xylophone wheel nearby — all set against a looping fairground backdrop with a roller coaster in the distance. Rube Grossman's cover art captures the anarchic spirit of the book's featured characters perfectly, with the Fox and the Crow, the Dodo and the Frog, and Nutsy Squirrel all represented in this lively scene. Packed with 76 pages of funny-animal fun at just 15 cents, Comic Cavalcade #35 is a delightful snapshot of DC's lighter side in the late Golden Age.
