About the series
Ferdinand the Bull, a single-issue comic published by Dell in 1938, adapts the classic story of the gentle, flower-loving bull who prefers peace to bullfighting. This one-shot stands as a charming, faithful rendering of Munro Leaf’s beloved children’s tale, capturing the character’s quiet defiance and gentle spirit in a medium that would see many more such adaptations. It matters as an early example of Dell’s commitment to wholesome, character-driven comics based on popular storybook figures.
