Four Color #750

A crowned lion presides with regal — if slightly exasperated — dignity as a delightful swarm of kittens of every color and pattern clambers over his mane, paws, and tail on this cheerful 1956 Dell one-shot. Al Hubbard's expressive linework gives each tiny feline its own personality, from the bold orange troublemakers to the timid grey kitten nestled in the middle of the chaos. It's a warm, whimsical snapshot of Walt Disney's celebration of the whole cat family, rendered with the kind of playful charm that made Dell's Disney comics a staple of mid-century childhood.
