Four Color #715

Dell's Four Color #715 brings Sparber's cheerful redheaded Timmy to life in a collection of all brand-new stories, including "The Concert." The cover sets a perfectly playful tone: a grinning Timmy pushes a shopping cart loaded with groceries — apples, a can, leafy vegetables — while a grumpy bald toddler rides along amid the bags, looking decidedly unimpressed with the arrangement. At just a dime, this 1956 Dell charmer captures the easygoing, kid-friendly humor that made these comics a staple of the era.
