Treasury of Classic Tales
2 primary works
Book 1
From the early 1950s through the late ‘80s, the Disney studio created Sunday comics adaptations of more than 120 of their animated and live-action films that were currently in movie theaters. The chronological all-star line-up in this first volume is an almost embarrassment of riches: the animated Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, Peter and the Wolf, and two precursers to the series, Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland! The live-action adaptations are: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Robin Hood, The Sword and the Rose, Ben and Me, and Rob Roy. Disney stalwarts Manuel Gonzales and Dick Moores drew the cartoon adaptations, while the live-action stories were illustrated by legendary Tarzan artist Jesse Marsh!
Book 2
From the early 1950s through the late '80s, the Disney studio created Sunday comics adaptations of more than one hundred twenty of their animated and live-action films. The chronological all-star line-up in this second volume reflects the maturation and diversity of the studio's releases: Sleeping Beauty, The Legends of Davy Crockett, The Littlest Outlaw, The Great Locomotive Chase, Lambert the Sheepish Lion, Westward Ho the Wagons!, Gus and Jaq, Johnny Tremain, Perri, Old Yeller, The Seven Dwarfs and the Witch Queen, The Light in the Forest, and The Shaggy Dog. These classics were illustrated by Disney stalwarts Jesse Marsh, Floyd Gottfredson, Ken Hultgren, and Julius Svendsen.
