About the series
Nellie the Nurse, a two-issue series from Dell in 1958, offered a lighthearted look at the life of a dedicated hospital nurse. While a short-lived entry in the publisher's vast line of licensed and original comics, it captured the wholesome, career-focused storytelling of the era. The series is a charming, if brief, snapshot of mid-century pop culture's idealized view of the nursing profession.
