Four Color #508

In "Giraffe Helps Fire Department," a cursed circus descends into chaos after the Boss fires elephant trainer Mojah, setting off a string of bizarre incidents. A mysterious small man, hired as a water boy despite his claim to be a magician, becomes an unlikely figure in the growing turmoil. Written by Don Sheppard and illustrated with lively detail by Lee Hooper—whose distinctive style defines both the interior art and the cover—this 1953 Four Color comic delivers whimsy with a hint of the uncanny.
