Hey yall. I recently found a new comic shop with the world's greatest 50 cent bin. Dell, Gold Key, Harvey, Gladstone...you name it (reader copies, mostly falling apart, but still awesome).
One of the books I found there is (I believe) Dell Four Color 668 from 1955, the adaptation of Dumbo. Anyone know the credits for this comic? The art is just beautiful stuff.

Everyone here should learn how to use the COA pages, so they won't need to ask such questions.
The Four Color Comic #668 was a reprint of Four Color # 234 from 1949. The cover was drawn by Western Pub. Art editor, Carl Buettner. The 14 page, "Sky Voyage" drawn by Tony Strobl, "Little Pedro" by Gil Turner, and "The Musician", by Don Gunn. The 2 one-pagers were drawn by Tony Strobl.

The COA is a search engine for the Inducks, an online Disney comics database.
Here is the COA's main page:
http://coa.inducks.org/
Browsing around the COA site should show you a lot about how it works, but here's the page for Dumbo Four Color (One Shot, or OS) 668??the issue you told us you have, Alexander:
http://coa.inducks.org/issue.php?c=us/OS++668
As that page shows, the featured story in OS 668 is actually a 35-page adaptation of the Dumbo feature film, drawn by Al Hubbard.
Rob, you state that OS 668 is a reprint of OS 234. It's not. OS 668 only reprints the cover of OS 234. The interior stories in OS 234 are actually unique to OS 234 and have not been reprinted in the United States??yet, anyway.

Thanks, David. I see that once on The COA pages, the reader must be able to read and understand the language in which he or she has chooses to have it shown (and not make assumptions based solely on the first (cover) entry. Sorry, Alexander.
