An updated version of Lewis Carroll's Alice wasn't Dave Berg's only foray into fantasy...
...there was also the cover feature for the first issue of Alice's Ziff-Davis Comics stable-mate, Fairy Tales!
(Yes, I know it says "#10", but it's the first issue!)
The "look" of this strip is totally-different from the other Ziff-Davis material by Berg we've presented.
But, keep in mind that Dave got his start working for the Eisner-Iger Studio in 1940.
One of the attributes they looked for in their artists was the ability to mimic other illustrators' styles...including Eisner's own!
It's possible he was instructed by editor Jerry Siegel to go for a "look" similar to Walt Kelly's on his successful and popular Dell Comics Fairy Tale Parade and Mother Goose stories!
But when he started work on Alice, Siegel let him go back to his "normal" look!
