Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #112 (January 1950)

This is a vintage Dell Comic titled 'Walt Disney's Comics and Stories,' Vol. 10, No. 4, whole number 112, published in January 1950. The cover art features a classic winter/holiday scene with Donald Duck in bed appearing annoyed while Pluto and the nephews (Huey, Dewey, and Louie) sing Christmas carols outside his window in the snow. This 52-page magazine-style comic is constructed with a staple-bound paper cover and newsprint interior pages. The masthead features the iconic Dell logo in the upper left corner and an original 10-cent price point. Condition is a primary factor for this Golden Age collectible; the image reveals significant wear including heavy creasing throughout the front cover, rounded and frayed corners, and a notable subscription crease or vertical fold line. There is a visible white mailing label affixed to the lower left margin, which indicates it was a subscription copy sent to 'Stoughton, WIS.' The edges show chipping and some paper loss, particularly on the bottom right corner. The colors remain relatively vibrant for its age, though there is general surface soiling and yellowing typical of newsprint from this era. This issue is notable for containing stories by legendary artist Carl Barks, which highly influences its desirability among collectors.
