Li'l Kids #5

A gang of pint-sized football players in red-and-yellow uniforms comes charging straight off the cover of this 1972 Marvel humor comic, leaving a flustered adult — presumably the hapless Mr. Turner — reeling beside a freshly shattered window. A cheerful dog joins the chaotic stampede, and the speech bubble's punchline — "But, Mr. Turner, children should be SEEN, not HURT!" — sets the mischievous tone perfectly. Stan Goldberg and John Verpoorten's cover art captures the anything-but-orderly world of Li'l Kids with loose, energetic linework that promises plenty of "Kiddie Kapers and Kartoon Kut-Ups" inside.
