Christmas in Disneyland #1 - Carl Barks, Al Hubbard art

Walt Disney's Christmas in Disneyland (Dell Giant) #1, 1957: Accompanying Santa Claus on his Christmas eve journey, a little boy and girl listen intently to his holiday tales. His stories feature a variety of Walt Disney characters including Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Chip N' Dale, L'il Bad Wolf and Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs. Al Hubbard draws the Scamp and Peter Pan features, both displaying his splendid draftsmanship. The issue's highlight, however, features Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck and his nephews on a voyage to the South Seas. Carl Barks uses this unexpected setting to tell one of his most memorable Christmas tales. From his depiction of a volcanic pit (page 10) to the scene of an island on the cusp of exploding (page 16), Barks' humorous storytelling technique is masterful. The interior page shown above is by Barks. This is number 1 of 1 Christmas in Disneyland issues with Barks art and/or covers and number 1 of 1 Christmas in Disneyland issues with Hubbard art and/or covers.
