Donald & Caballeros Comix
- Here, from Walt Disney Comics, March 1945 edition is an ad for The Three Caballeros, about to be released.
(Click any image to enlarge.)
This ad is placed on the magazine’s rear cover. Interesting that I called it a magazine rather than a comic book. That’s what it is. There’s written material, stories, within the publication as well as the illustrated comics.
The following was in the very next issue, for April 1945. It has nothing to do with the Caballeros ad, but I thought the horse was somewhat inspired from the models of that feature film.

Many thanks to Bill Peckmann for the loan of these comic book magazines. The originals are his which were bound by the year.

Didn’t Walt Kelly do the Three Caballeros comics?

Early Carl Barks like this or Carl’s later work, it’s always a super treat, thanks! Great scans!

If you had just posted page number 6, that alone would have been pretty impressive.
There’s some daring layout within those panels.
