With Frank Johnson handling both the interior art and inks, and Jon D'Agostino on letters, this 1958 Charlton classic captures a small-town scheme with big, funny consequences. The cover, also by Frank Johnson, perfectly captures the mischievous energy of the moment.

It's a funny reminder that Li'l Tomboy's mischief and independence are here to stay, no matter what outfit she wears.

With a mix of mischief and imagination, she turns the household into a stage for her persuasive plan, all while staying just out of sight.
In "A Clothes Call," Li'l Tomboy decides to try on dresses after meeting the actress Dorothy, much to her parents' surprise. The story captures her playful experiment with a new look, full of innocent curiosity and a touch of mischief.
When Burrhead Jones relentlessly mocks Li'l Pardner at school—jeering at everything from boots to Caesar the horse—he's really trying to goad a fight that'll land Li'l Pardner in trouble with the teacher.

A spirited frontier tale about standing up to a bully and the loyalty of a trusty steed.
