Peter Panda #27

This cheerful 1957 DC title finds Peter Panda and his little companion looking on wide-eyed as a bumbling green dragon blows through a pipe — sending a dramatic purple shadow-creature sprawling across a crumbling brick wall. The cover for "Chasing Shadows" captures that perfect blend of mild mystery and gentle slapstick that made funny-animal comics such a delight for young readers of the era. At just a dime, it's a warm slice of mid-century all-ages storytelling with a genuinely fun visual gag right on the front.
