Bachelor Father full page panels

Bachelor Father was an American sitcom starring John Forsythe, Noreen Corcoran and Sammee Tong. The series first premiered on CBS in September 1957 before moving to NBC for the third season in 1959. The series' fifth and final season aired on ABC for the rest of the show's run. A total of 157 episodes were aired. It is the only primetime series ever to run in consecutive years on the three major television networks.

Just in time for the end of this show's run, Dell put out two comics . the first was Four Color #1332 (April-June 1962), and then this issue, indicia #2, in September. This was after the Western split. Hard to figure which licensed properties when to which company.

I normally don't consider Splash Pages as Full Page Panels, but this one is so nice, I thought I'd include it.

Betty & Veronica Full Page Panel

Everyone knows I go nuts for comic book full page panels (as opposed to splash pages). Here is a nice one from Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #136 (April 1967)
