Issue Notes
More than one printing exists; besides the 10/63 printing (printing #?) there is a stated "Fifth Printing" (in the indicia) dated "687" (i.e., July 1968) in lower left panel of 1st page with cover identical to 10/63 printing. If Four Color #92 and Four Color #545 are considered the 1st & 2nd printings, the 10/63 may be the 3rd printing which means there is a stated 4th printing (needs to be verified). The "Sixth Printing" is the 1971 Gold Key nn issue. The 7th (and final) printing (not labeled as such in the indicia) is the 1982 Whitman nn issue.

- Synopsis
- The Blue Fairy brings Gepetto's wooden puppet Pinocchio to life. Jiminy Cricket is enlisted as his conscience. Pinocchio is captured by the evil showman Stromboli, but is rescued by the Blue Fairy. Not learning a lesson, Pinocchio is then enticed to travel with a coach load of boys to Pleasure Island. There they indulge in bad behavior until the boys turn into donkeys. Pinocchio is saved by Jiminy part-way through the transformation. In the meantime, Gepetto was swallowed by the whale Monstro. Pinocchio and Jiminy search for Monstro and the pair are re-united with Gepetto in Monstro's belly.
