M-G-M's Tom & Jerry's Summer Fun

Dell Comics’ M-G-M’s Tom & Jerry’s Summer Fun (1954–1957) is a four-issue seasonal special that pairs the iconic cat-and-mouse duo with a rotating cast of MGM cartoon stars, including Droopy, Barney Bear, and Big Spike. Primarily written by Carl Barks and drawn by Harvey Eisenberg, the series captures the playful, slapstick energy of the theatrical shorts in a digest-sized format. Though brief, it stands as a charming snapshot of mid-century licensed comics, showcasing two of the era’s most beloved funny-animal talents working outside their usual Disney and MGM assignments.
