Item Description

This is only the second of 7 Beany and Cecil issues under the Dell Four Color banner. All pages and the front cover of this issue came from the drawing board of noted Disney/Warner Bros. animator Jack Bradbury, who switched to comic book illustration when he was 30 years old, and never looked back!

Jack Bradbury was personally selected by Beany and Cecil creator Bob Clampett to be the first cartoonist to adapt his puppet characters from the daily TV show "Time for Beany" to the comic book medium, and Jack illustrated all 7 Beany and Cecil issues in the first 1953 - 1955 run of this title.

This issue contains the 17-page story, "Horse-fly Hubbub". Beany, Cecil, and Captain Huffenpuff discover a mysterious island populated by giant Horse- flies! Dishonest John wonds up kidnapping a young Horse-fly that the crew brings home to nurse, and uses him to win in a horse race! There's also a 15-pager called "The Blue Man" about the discovery by the crew of a wooly mammoth and caveman frozen in arctic ice!

This book is in 4.0 VG condition, obviously read and enjoyed, with lots of little stress lines on the cover, which for some reason, is very common for this issue! Check out our LOW shipping price - just $2.00 - and no added charge for additional purchases!
