Chic Young's Dagwood Comics #129
In "Count Down!", a gentle dragon named Dexter struggles to make friends in a world that expects him to be fearsome—until a chance encounter with a lost princess gives him a rare opportunity to show his true, kind nature. Written with quiet charm and illustrated in the classic Harvey style, this 1962 issue captures a sweet, whimsical moment in the life of a dragon who just wants to be seen for who he is. The cover by typeset completes the nostalgic, hand-crafted feel of a classic comic from the early '60s.
