Four Color #1278

Dell's Four Color #1278 brings the animated royalty of King Leonardo and His Short Subjects to comic pages in this cheerful 1962 installment. The cover shows the crown-wearing lion king looming good-naturedly over a tiny, fully armored knight — squeezing what appears to be a tomato that's squirting right at the little warrior's visor, with both characters radiating the warm cartoon charm of the TV series. It's a lighthearted slice of Bobiton kingdom fun, perfect for fans of the show or anyone who appreciates Dell's knack for translating Saturday-morning energy into print.
