Adventures in Wonderland

In the mid-1950s, Lev Gleason Publications took a whimsical turn with Adventures in Wonderland, a five-issue comic series that reimagined Lewis Carroll’s classic tale for a new generation. Artist Pete Morisi, best known for his gritty crime and superhero work, brought a distinctive, clean-lined style to Wonderland’s madcap landscapes and eccentric characters. Though short-lived, the series stands as a curious footnote in Gleason’s catalog—a lighthearted departure from the publisher’s usual crime and horror fare, showcasing Morisi’s versatility. It remains a charming, lesser-seen take on a timeless fantasy world.
