Four Color #819

Mickey Mouse trades in his red shorts for a magician's tuxedo in this charming 1957 Dell one-shot, with cover pencils by Tony Strobl capturing the mouse mid-performance — wand in hand, top hat on the table, and Huey, Dewey, and Louie tumbling through the air as if conjured from thin air. The star-spangled magic table and the trio of bewildered nephews give the cover an irresistible sense of wonder and playful chaos. Writer George Crenshaw and artist/inker Jack Bradbury bring "Magic Land" to life inside, making this a delightful slice of Disney comics from the golden age of Dell.
