Melvin

Melvin is a young boy character from Harvey Comics who became a companion to Little Audrey, eventually sharing co-billing with her in the title Little Audrey and Melvin. He inhabits the lighthearted, child-centered world typical of Harvey's all-ages humor comics.

A fixture of Harvey Comics' beloved all-ages world, Melvin made his debut in Little Audrey #37 in 1954 and went on to become a recurring presence across two decades of cheerful, wholesome funny-book fun. His name even graces the title Little Audrey and Melvin, a sure sign of his standing in Harvey's sunny corner of the Golden Age and beyond. Sharing pages with Little Audrey, Lucretia, and a colorful cast of Harvey regulars across titles like Playful Little Audrey and Little Audrey TV Funtime, Melvin carved out a modest but genuine niche in mid-century comics — and with a collector-recognized key issue to his name, he's a rewarding find for anyone diving deep into Harvey's charming, underappreciated catalog.
