Four Color #728

This 1956 Dell gem brings M.G.M's Mouse Musketeers to life with a delightfully mischievous cover by Harvey Eisenberg: a swashbuckling mouse in a feathered hat and musketeer's vest uses a key to unlock a padlock on a knight's visor, behind which two tiny mice are trapped and peering out. The scene perfectly captures the clever, cartoon capers the series was known for, with Eisenberg's clean, animated style keeping everything bright and full of personality. A charming snapshot of mid-50s licensed comics at their most playful.
