Dell Giant #49

All three of Donald Duck's nephews march front and center on this cheerful 1961 Dell Giant cover — Huey, Dewey, and Louie each sporting a bright red apple balanced atop their caps, clutching books and lunch boxes as they head off for the new school year. Cover pencils by Tony Strobl and inks by Norm McGary give the trio a lively, warm energy that perfectly captures the mix of eagerness and mild reluctance that comes with September. At 25 cents, this oversized issue promises a generous helping of back-to-school adventures with three of Disney's most endearing characters.
