Four Color #869

This 1958 Dell Four Color adaptation of Walt Disney's Old Yeller captures the heart of the story right on its cover — a big, tongue-lolling yellow dog posed beside a hat-wearing teenage boy against a warm red background, with the tagline promising "the remarkable story of a loyal Texas range dog and his teen-age master." The photo-style cover gives the whole thing an inviting, almost cinematic feel that perfectly suits the Disney film tie-in. Inside, Dan Spiegle brings his steady linework to the frontier tale, making this a charming piece of 1958 comics publishing.
