Gwandanaland Comics #371

Gwandanaland Comics #371 collects early adventures of Peter Wheat, the pointy-capped little defender of the small folk who lives near the wheat fields at the edge of the wood — and the cover art of Walt Kelly is on full, delightful display throughout. The reprinted cover panels show Peter riding atop a friendly green creature alongside a mouse and a robin, then rallying to help his tiny neighbors track down a honey bee and solve a stolen-honey crisis. It's a charming window into wholesome, imaginatively crafted all-ages storytelling that holds up beautifully in this 2017 collection.
