Four Color #663

From Dell's 1955 lineup comes this charming tie-in to the beloved interactive TV show, presenting Winky Dink's cheerful star-haired face beaming from inside a stylized television set — complete with a crayon and drawing ring, the very tools that made the show's interactive magic work. The cover's bold, graphic design captures the character's signature look: rosy cheeks, gap-toothed grin, and that unmistakable yellow star atop his head, all rendered in a wonderfully flat, mid-century modern style. At just a dime, this Four Color issue offered young readers a chance to follow Winky Dink on "The Totem Trail with Dusty Dan" and relive the fun of their favorite small-screen adventure in comic form.
