Little Max Comics #27

From the Joe Palooka universe, this February 1954 Harvey issue puts the spotlight squarely on little Max, Ham Fisher's cherubic, red-haired kid with the oversized green hat. Fisher's cover finds the grinning boy crouched over his shoeshine box, wielding a whirring electric buffer — "W-R-R-R-R" — as he polishes a very large black shoe, turning an everyday chore into pure comic energy. At just a dime, it's a cheerful snapshot of 1950s all-ages fun with Art Helfant handling the interior story duties throughout.
