Li'l Genius #22

Charlton's Li'l Genius returns in this cheerful 1959 entry, with Frank Johnson's cover depicting the wild-haired little inventor sitting cross-legged on a checkered floor, blowing a horn at a snake charmer's basket — and the cobra isn't exactly cooperating, twisting itself into knots instead of rising gracefully. A red-pigtailed girl peeks in from the corner, and a "Giant Jackpot Prizes" banner promises even more fun waiting inside.
