Little Max Comics #6

This sunny 1950 Harvey title lived up to its billing as a "Special Magazine for Little Folks," and issue #6 delivers a cheerful beach-day cover showing Little Max — the chubby, red-haired toddler — tumbling through the air in his red swim trunks while a blonde boy catches a beach ball below and a little girl looks on in wide-eyed surprise. Charming vignettes of Max in various comic predicaments border the entire cover, giving the whole thing a lively, scrapbook feel that's hard to resist. At just ten cents, this August 1950 issue promises easygoing fun for young readers with its Ham Fisher creation front and center.
