Li'l Kids #10

This February 1973 Marvel title brings a classroom full of charm with Li'l Kids #10, spotlighting the introduction of Calvin. Kevin Banks's cover art drops us right into a lively school scene — a drowsy Calvin dozing at his desk while a red-haired teacher brandishes a ruler and scolds him, only for Calvin to fire back a perfectly deadpan retort about the noise level, much to the amusement of the surrounding kids. It's a warm, humor-driven slice of everyday kid life that fits right into Marvel's lighter, all-ages offerings of the early '70s.
