Item Description
Here is the second of only two 'MARY JANE and SNIFFLES' issues that appeared as part of the long-running DELL FOUR COLOR series, the first in 1952, and this one in 1953. SNIFFLES was created in 1939 by cartoon director Chuck Jones for the first of 12 animated shorts he made with the character between 1939 and 1946.His cute appearance and modest personality were a hit with audiences . . and it wasn't long before he was adapted to the comic book page, running first in LOONEY TUNES AND MERRY MELODIES COMICS and then in multiple Warner Bros. titles like PORKY PIG and BUGS BUNNY, continuing until 1961.
It wasn't long before SNIFFLES acquired a human confidant and partner - young MARY JANE, who, with the help of magical sand from the Sandman was able to shrink herself to SNIFFLES' size and join him on adventures where everything appeared gigantic!
Here, in FOUR COLOR #474, from 1953, Mary Jane and her pal Sniffles star in 8 different stories, 5 of them by former Disney animator Al Hubbard, and the other three by prolific Disney comic book artist Tony Strobl. They have adventures in Cricketville, up in the air in a kite basket, in the land of Music, and confront King Moola in Mushroomland! The lovely back cover has a pretty distinct 'Walt Kelly Vibe' - not surprising, as Kelly and Hubbard knew and admired each other!
This copy of FOUR COLOR #474 is in very good condition for its age, with a cover dimpled and sporting stress lines, but with bright and supple pages displaying only the mildest toning. There is a bit of spine roll, but the binding is strong. We think this rates a grade of 5.0 VG/FN . . but you may think it could be graded even higher . . and Overstreet thinks this should be valued at $16 . . but we'll let you steal it for $10 . . plus our customary L•O•W shipping cost, and FREE shipping on any additional purchases!
