Four Color #851

Dell's "Movie Classic" adaptation of The Story of Mankind sweeps across human history in a single 10-cent package, with a cover that pulls directly from the film's photo stills. A Roman soldier and a dark-haired woman dominate the foreground, flanked by a Napoleonic figure in full military dress, while smaller panels showcase a regal queen enthroned in royal garb, two well-dressed men in conversation, and armored medieval knights ready for battle — all underscored by the tagline "Explorer… Warrior… Dreamer!" Writer Gaylord Du Bois and artist/inker Bob Jenney bring the Warner Bros. production to the comics page, capturing the sweep of a story that spans civilization itself.
