Elsie the Cow Comics

From 1949 to 1950, D.S. Publishing released three issues of Elsie the Cow Comics, a lighthearted title starring the beloved Borden dairy mascot. Writer Paul S. Newman and artist Al Fago brought the cheerful, anthropomorphic cow to the four-color page, crafting gentle adventures that reflected the wholesome, family-friendly tone of post-war Americana. Though brief, the series is a charming snapshot of how a corporate advertising icon was translated into the burgeoning comic-book medium.
