Atom the Cat #13

This cheerful October 1958 Charlton title finds Atom the Cat — grinning wide with his signature "AC" collar — completely overwhelmed by a swarm of mischievous kittens who have tangled him head to toe in colorful yarn and string. Cover artists Jon D'Agostino and Pat Masulli pack the bright yellow image with delightful chaos: kittens perched on Atom's head, clinging to his legs, batting at yarn balls, and even tumbling through the air above him. At a dime a copy, it's a warm, playful snapshot of mid-century funny-animal comics at their most endearing.
