In "Artificial Rainstorm," a whimsical 1956 tale from Four Color #694, an elephant trainer uses a clever trick involving an elephant’s trunk to simulate a rainstorm—just as a photographer arrives to snap pictures of Mary outdoors. With Mike Sekowsky’s expressive art and Mike Peppe’s crisp inks, the story captures a moment of playful deception, all set against the simple charm of a classic Dell comic.
