About this Collection
This first volume of Dark Horse's collected Little Lulu series reprints classic comic strips from John Stanley and Irving Tripp, featuring the mischievous Lulu Moppet and her friends Tubby, Iggy, and Annie. The stories capture the playful, everyday adventures and humorous mishaps of Lulu's childhood world, originally published in the 1940s and 1950s. This edition collects issues from the early run of the beloved comic book series, preserving the charm and wit that made Little Lulu a timeless favorite.
In "Lulu on Skates," a playful game of Indian takes a wild turn when Alvin removes the head from a store mannequin, setting off a chain of mishaps that lands Lulu’s father in trouble. Written and illustrated by John Stanley, with inks by Charles Hedinger, this 2005 Dark Horse tale captures the classic charm and mischievous energy of the Little Lulu universe, all framed by Stanley’s own cover art.
