Li'l Pals #4

A masquerade party goes delightfully sideways on this cheerful 1973 Marvel cover by Stan Goldberg and John Verpoorten, where Harriet Hippo — decked out in a yellow dress, red bow, and decorative eye mask — is immediately recognized despite her disguise, much to her bafflement. The scene is packed with costumed animal pals, balloons, and confetti, capturing that warm, goofy energy that made Li'l Pals such a fun corner of Marvel's lineup. Inside, Ed Winiarski brings the neighborhood antics of "Trouble in Zinkle Street!" to life for just twenty cents.
