Zorro and Friends!


While still in the throes of “Zorro-mania”, I’ll share an unusual comic book cover.

WALT DISNEY’S COMICS AND STORIES # 278 (November, 1963)

Donald Duck and Daisy by Carl Barks.

Mickey Mouse, Goofy and Black Pete by Jack Bradbury.

And Guy Williams as Zorro!

Check out the floating, disembodied heads of both Zorro and Pete. Their “tilts” sort of complement each other… in a symmetrical design sense sort of way!

Joe,

Considering which one is the hero, shouldn't the sunburst be emanating from ZORRO's head?

A great cover nevertheless...

Chris:

Well, maybe Pete STOLE the sunburst from some innocent “lost civilization” and Zorro mysteriously appears to assist Mickey and Goofy in returning it to its rightful owners!

Zorro might even plan to spook Pete into submission by appearing as a disembodied head!

…Okay, fanboy mode off!

Joe.
