Disney's the Little Mermaid Limited Series #1

The opening issue of this four-part Disney Comics limited series brings Ariel bursting joyfully from the ocean waves, arms thrown wide, red hair streaming, with Scuttle the seagull soaring above her, Flounder grinning in the foreground, and Sebastian perched on a nearby rock below. Cover pencils by David Pacheco and inks by Brian Garvey give the scene a bright, animated energy that feels right at home with the beloved characters. With Peter David writing and Chuck Austen on interior art, this 1992 series promised Disney fans a fresh comics adventure alongside their favorite undersea cast.
