Four Color #258

In "Andy Panda and the Balloon Race," a runaway hot air balloon crashes into Andy's backyard, delivering Professor Gaas Bag—knocked out by rival racers and stranded mid-flight. With the championship race still unfinished, the professor entrusts Andy and Charlie with his balloon, setting them on an unexpected aerial adventure. Illustrated by Dick Hall with inks by Anahid Dinkjian and lettering by Anahid Dinkjian, this 1949 Four Color comic captures the charm of a classic kids' adventure. The cover, also by Dick Hall, perfectly captures the whimsical spirit of the tale.
