Four Color #796

Dell's Four Color series brings Ludwig Bemelmans' beloved characters to comics in this 1957 adaptation, faithfully capturing the charm of the source material. The cover shows the nun Miss Clavel — flowers in hand — overseeing two neat lines of twelve little girls in their signature yellow coats and wide-brimmed hats, all marching along a stone path, while the white dog Genevieve trots happily alongside at the front. It's a warm, storybook scene that fans of Madeline's Parisian adventures will find utterly delightful for a dime.
