Four Color #114

Dell's Fairy Tale Parade No. 114 from 1946 brings Arthur Jameson's cover painting vividly to life — a hulking, fur-clad giant cradles two tiny, elaborately dressed figures in his massive hands while a miniature mounted knight charges toward him with a lance, the scale contrast making for a genuinely charming and just a little unsettling tableau. Inside, Dan Noonan illustrates "The Sleeping Giant," promising the kind of whimsical storybook adventure this beloved Dell anthology series did so well. A lovely ten-cent slice of mid-1940s fantasy comics craft.
