What the world needs now is more kids’ comics, so let’s fire this blog up and see if she still runs!
The cover is a classic from the great Carl Barks, and the Bucky Bug story, “Rainbow’s End,” is from Gil Turner, who as a young man worked delivering ice before becoming an animator with Disney in 1933. His career would find him at all the major animation studios, all the while working as a cartoonist for Dell throughout the 1940s. Great stuff!
All from Walt Disney Comics and Stories No. 18, September 1949.
Great to see you back in action, Mr. Banta sir! Liking the Turner art here!
ReplyDeletePS: I have a request. Could you post some more Wendy? She's probably my favorite Harvey comics character.
It's good to see this blog again, and nice to see Bucky again, too! You can read Bucky's original Sunday strips in the IDW/The Library of American Comics hardcover book Silly Symphonies Vol. 1.
