The Brownies (Dell Comic Reprint)

The Brownies were first created by Canadian artist Palmer Cox (1840-1924). The Dell comics version was drawn by several different artists. The earliest comics were similar to Cox's style, while later comics were influenced by the iteration drawn by Walt Kelly (of Pogo fame), which were lush in detail. This collection includes four of the Dell Four Color comics featuring the Brownies. (The Four Color imprint included a variety of characters, and allowed Dell to try out some titles before giving them their own series.) The issues included are Nos. 192 (1948), 337 (1951), 365 (1951), and 482 (1953).
