Four Color #215

"Sparkle Plenty" is a quirky 1949 tale from Chester Gould, the creator of Dick Tracy, who wrote, drew, and inked this Four Color adventure. When Gravel Gertie gives birth to Sparkle Plenty, the family’s sudden fame brings a $3,000 payout from Glance magazine—only for the money to vanish, end up in Dick Tracy’s hands, and spark a chain of odd events. Months later, a stolen cargo of electrical supplies leads to a tense standoff on B.O. Plenty’s land, and a surprising reunion with a lost dog that’s now Sparkle’s pet. Cover by Chester Gould.
