Classics Illustrated Junior, #538

Abstract

The Lion and the Dolphin takes up two pages (29-30) and only seven panels. I think it unusual in this fable that the dolphin actually tries to help the lion in his fight, but he could not get out of the sea. The moral, announced by the dolphin: Even if a friend wants to help, he isn't always able to. Some bibliographer may have fun sometime lining up all the factors that bear on fixing the succession of phases through which this magazine went, from Famous Authors without reference to time (month, season, or year) to Famous Authors with those references, to naming the workers listed above (one of whom loses her third name subsequently), to Gilberton, to Classics Illustrated, to $.25 per issue. That at least is how I see the overview now. $.15.
