Four Color #902

This 1958 Dell one-shot introduces Will-Yum!, the gap-toothed, orange-haired boy in a purple beret who's clearly delighted to share his "Follow the Dots Drawing Book" with a dark-haired girl in a yellow polka-dot dress — pencil in hand and small doll tucked under her arm — against a cheerful red background. Dave Gerard's clean, expressive linework gives both kids an instantly likable cartoon charm that fits perfectly alongside Dell's all-ages humor lineup. Promising "All Brand-New Stories" at just a dime, this is a warm slice of late-'50s funny-pages fun.
