About the series
In 1962–1963, Dell Comics brought Enid Bagnold's beloved novel National Velvet to the four-color page as a Western, running for just two issues. The series was most frequently illustrated by Jack Sparling, whose art lent a warm, rustic feel to the story of a young girl and her horse. Though brief, this comic stands as a charming, little-known adaptation that captured the spirit of the classic tale for a new generation of readers.
