Four Color #606

Dell's Four Color series brings Arthurian adventure to vivid life in this 1954 entry, with cover art by Sam Savitt capturing Sir Lancelot charging full tilt on a dark, snarling warhorse, lance leveled and a crimson-plumed helmet catching the stormy light. The horse's heraldic blue caparison — emblazoned with a golden lion — and the distant battlefield of knights and pennants give the scene a genuinely stirring medieval sweep. Inside, Bob Fujitani brings the tale of "Sir Lancelot and the Castle Dangerous" to the page, making this a fine ten-cent package of chivalric excitement.
