New Funnies #76

In "Saving a Lion Tamer," Andy uses his uncanny ability to communicate with animals to rescue a lion tamer in peril, earning a reward that he selflessly shares with a struggling family. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and brought to life with expressive art by Carl Barks—pencils, inks, and lettering all by the same hand—this 1943 Dell classic blends heart and adventure in a story that stands out for its empathy and quiet heroism. The cover by Carl Barks captures the moment’s tension with flair, making this issue a standout in the New Funnies series.
