About the series
Based on the popular animated TV show, Beany and Cecil ran for five issues from Dell Comics in 1962 and 1963. The series brought the adventures of the boy Beany and his sea serpent friend Cecil to the printed page, with stories primarily written by Don Segall and illustrated by Willie Ito and John Chilly. A charming artifact of early 1960s pop culture, it captured the whimsical, nautical humor of Bob Clampett's original creation for a new generation of comic readers.
