Atomic Rabbit #5

Charlton's pint-sized superhero is in full flight on this cheerful 1956 cover, with Atomic Rabbit swooping toward the reader while a runaway steam locomotive barrels along the track behind him, packed with a lively cast of cartoon animal characters — including a mischievous-looking skunk and a wide-eyed pig — leaning out and waving from the cab. Al Fago's cover art captures the series' winning blend of slapstick energy and big-eared charm that made this ten-cent title a delight for younger readers of the era. With the story "Safe at Second" waiting inside, there's plenty of fun packed into this compact little Charlton gem.
