Walt Disney's the Wonderful Adventures of Pinocchio #1
Synopsis
The Blue Fairy brings Gepetto's wooden puppet Pinocchio to life. Jiminy Cricket is enlisted as his conscience. Pinocchio is captured by the evil showman Stromboli, but is rescued by the Blue Fairy. Not learning a lesson, Pinocchio is then enticed to travel with a coach load of boys to Pleasure Island. There they indulge in bad behavior until the boys turn into donkeys. Pinocchio is saved by Jiminy part-way through the transformation. In the meantime, Gepetto was swallowed by the whale Monstro. Pinocchio and Jiminy search for Monstro and the pair are re-united with Gepetto in Monstro's belly. Full Color 32 pages on standard paper with $1.00 cover price. Far as I can tell this is the 50th Anniversary Edition (8th printing) of this story which originally was in (Four Color (Dell Comics, 1942 series) #92 - Walt Disney's The Wonderful Adventures of Pinocchio) January 1946.
