Comic books in 'Gremlins (Dark Horse/Walt Disney)'

1st printing. Written by Roald Dahl. Art by Disney Studios. Originally published in 1943 and long unavailable,"The Gremlins" is the story of Gus, a British World War II fighter pilot, who during the Battle of Britain turned to look out on the wing of his plane only to see an amazing sight: a little man, no more than six inches tall with horns growing from his head, drilling a hole in the plane's wing. Gus was the first man to ever see a Gremlin, and what happened after that would change the war, and the world, forever. Bought by Walt Disney to be produced as an animated motion picture (and considered to be the first story featuring the mythical airplane-sabotaging creatures known as Gremlins), the project was ultimately shelved and is reprinted here for the first time in over sixty years. Hardcover, 8-1/2 in. x 11 in., 56 pages, full color. Cover price $12.95.
