| Notes | Indicia title is "Walt Disney's DONALD DUCK and the PIXILATED PARROT, No. 282." Code number is D.D.O.S. #282-507. Copyright 1950 by Walt Disney Productions, Inc. Apparently Donald Duck #12. Credits for this issue based upon Alberto Becattini's "Disney Index - Dell Comic Books" Vols. 1 and 2 (Italy, 1992 and 1994). This Four Color issue was originally intended to feature LASSIE, but a subsequent decision was made to give the canine heroine her own series beginning with #1 instead. The code number in LASSIE #1 is Lassie O.S. #282-506. There is also an excess of blank space in the indicia between the title "LASSIE" and "Published by Dell Publishing Co." into which the "No. 1" is dropped. That extra space was presumably to accomodate the larger Four Color issue number. |
