Huckleberry Hound #9

Huckleberry Hound and a bear companion — each peering through their own telescope — perch atop a rocky peak in this cheerful 1961 Dell issue, their mismatched hats and color-pop designs capturing the easygoing charm of Hanna-Barbera's beloved blue hound at his best. The cover's bright, breezy palette and the duo's alert, scouting poses hint at the lighthearted adventure waiting inside. At a dime a copy, this was pure Saturday-morning fun translated onto the comics page.
