Four Color #426

The cover says it all — Porky Pig, dressed in his blue messenger's cap and yellow bow tie, scrambles in wide-eyed alarm while a mischievous green-suited leprechaun dangles from a golden chain he's holding. Ralph Heimdahl's bright, expressive linework gives both characters a wonderful sense of motion and personality, perfectly capturing the playful chaos promised by the title "The Scalawag Leprechaun." A charming 1952 Dell outing that pairs Porky with an unlikely tormentor, with John Carey bringing the interior story to life.
