Peter Panda #16

The entrance to Candyland has never looked so unwelcoming — a stern candy-striped guard bellows "Halt! In the name of Peppermint Patrol 268!" at poor Peter Panda and two wide-eyed children, a blonde girl in pink and a red-haired boy in overalls, who gulps that Jimmy's sweet tooth has landed them all in a jam. This 1956 DC ten-center packs cheerful, candy-colored charm into every panel of its cover, promising "all new stories" in a wonderfully whimsical world where even dessert can get you into trouble.
