Uncle Charlie's Fables #3

This 1952 Lev Gleason anthology promises "All New and Original Stories" in the grand tradition of storybook adventure, and the cover by Charles Biro delivers a wonderfully chaotic scene to match. A massive horned dragon looms over a medieval castle's grounds, scattering a panicked crowd that includes a crowned king in royal robes, a young woman, knights, and courtiers — swords and shields flying in every direction. It's a lively, warmly illustrated piece of fable-flavored fun that makes Uncle Charlie's Fables #3 a genuinely charming slice of early 1950s comics storytelling.
