Four Color #682

This Dell Four Color entry brings Walt Disney's medieval adventure When Knighthood Was in Flower to the comics page, adapted from the Walt Disney motion picture "The Sword and the Rose." The cover is a lively photo-collage of film stills, featuring a dashing leading man in an ornate blue doublet at the lower left, a close-up portrait of another costumed player in a colorful plumed cap, period-dressed figures in castle settings, and a sweeping outdoor scene of riders on horseback. For a dime in 1956, this handsome Dell package offered young readers a taste of swashbuckling courtly adventure straight from the silver screen.
