About the series
Spanning 35 issues from 1959 to 1961, Dell's Dell Giant series offered oversized, value-packed comic adventures featuring a rotating cast of beloved Disney and folk-tale characters, from Brer Rabbit and his woodland companions to Clarabelle Cow and the Big Bad Wolf. The line was a showcase for some of the era's most prolific comic artisans, with regular contributions from writer/artist Christine Lyttle Smith, alongside frequent work by John Stanley, Gaylord Du Bois, Tony Strobl, and Pete Alvarado. These chunky, all-ages issues are a key artifact of Dell's golden age, demonstrating how the publisher gave its most popular characters room to roam in a larger, more story-rich format.
