Four Color #337

This 1951 Dell ten-cent treat puts the mischievous Brownies through their paces aboard a fantastical flying contraption — a wooden gondola propelled by a spinning fan, with the little sprites scrambling across rope ladders, dangling with a bucket of splashing water, clutching a butterfly net, and even floating aloft on a tiny umbrella against a breezy sky. Don Gunn's cover art captures the cheerful chaos of the whole crowd in mid-adventure, every Brownie seemingly pulling in a different direction at once. It's the kind of warm, animated energy that made Dell's all-ages comics such a delight throughout the era.
