Real Screen Comics #78

The cover of this September 1954 DC issue captures the Fox and the Crow in a delightfully precarious tightrope-walking scene — the dapper Fox balancing with a colorful spinning parasol while the Crow scrambles along behind him, both teetering on a wire stretched between bright pink poles. Their small portrait medallions peek out from the corners of the title logo, giving the duo a cheerful introduction before the fun even begins. At a dime a copy, Real Screen Comics #78 delivered the kind of breezy, good-natured cartoon comedy that made this series such a treat for young readers in 1954.
