I'm not crazy about Disney storytelling, but I have to admit that their cartoons sure are fun to look at - and even when they are translated into books by great artists like Mel Crawford and Al Dempster.
Mel Crawford has a more distinct style and his details are clearer, but on the other hand, Dempster's compositions and moods are wonderful.
Is there really any doubt that this wasn't a Golden Age for kids? What do we have today that can come even close to the fun and beauty of these?

There is a modern painter of eye candy too:
