Melvin

A Silver Age charmer from the pages of Harvey-style humor comics, Melvin made his debut in Little Audrey and Melvin #3 in 1962 and stuck around for a solid thirteen years of lighthearted fun. Published by Western, he shared comic real estate with a wonderfully zany cast — Heckle, Jeckle, Silly Sidney, Merton, and Evil Cat — the kind of animated-universe company that signals pure, breezy all-ages entertainment. Most at home in New Terrytoons and Little Audrey and Melvin, he's a modest but genuine piece of Silver Age humor comics history, the sort of character that rewards the collector with a taste for the cheerful, offbeat corners of the era.
