Carl Anderson's Henry #25

Carl Anderson's beloved silent boy is out and about on a rainy day, striding cheerfully through the downpour beneath a big red umbrella — which is topped, in true Henry fashion, with a cheerful little flowerpot. Published by Dell in 1952, this issue pairs that irresistibly sunny cover charm with the story "Woof -- Bow Wow and Gr-r!", hinting at some canine mischief to come. If you have a soft spot for gentle, good-humored comics from the early fifties, Henry's timeless appeal is on full display here.
