Four Color #1248 [ad]

In "Pluto Joins the Circus," a 1961 Four Color adventure, Mickey Mouse’s loyal dog is kidnapped by two of his foes and transformed into a bizarre circus act using glue, feathers, and a few clever disguises. Written by Don R. Christensen and brought to life with playful energy by Paul Murry—handling pencils, inks, and lettering—this whimsical tale sees Pluto thrust into a world of big tops and mistaken identities. The cover, also by Murry, captures the zany spectacle in bold, expressive lines.
