Tales of Brer Rabbit: Sunday Adventures #1

Plot

Long before Splash Mountain, and even before the movie, Disney's version of the folklore character Brer Rabbit appeared in newspaper comics! From 1945 to 1949, Brer Fox's wild "laughing place" journey, Brer Rabbit's ill-starred fling with the forest school teacher, Brer Buzzard's money tree, and Rabbit's close call in the "Garden of Eatin" adventures were serialized in strips, and Fantagraphics is collecting them for North America for the first time! Dick Moores (Gasoline Alley) teamed up with Paul Murry to draw scripts by Bill Walsh (Mary Poppins) and Vernon Stallings (animation pioneer, Fantasia).
