Information
- First published:
- December 1942 issue of Cosmopolitan (making this Dahl’s second published story after “Shot Down Over Libya”)
- Written under the pen name of “Pegasus, a noted Gremlinologist”
- Illustrated by Disney animators, thought to be primarily Bill Justice
- Trivia:
- This “preview” was published by Disney as an attempt to secure copyright for specific character designs ahead of a planned Gremlins feature film, since the concept of Gremlins in general were well known within the RAF and Dahl was unable to prove sole ownership. (Source: Leonard Maltin’s introduction to the 2006 reprint of The Gremlins.)
