Walt Disney's Treasury of Classic Tales

Walt Disney's Treasury of Classic Tales is an American Sunday comic strip, which ran in newspapers[1] from 13 July 1952 until 15 February 1987. Each story adapted a different Disney film, such as Darby O'Gill and the Little People, Peter Pan, or Davy Crockett. It was run in relatively few papers with 58 in 1957[2] and 55 in 1966[3] and was principally a vehicle for promoting new and re-released Disney films.[4]
