Peter Panda #30

Peter Panda #30 arrives with one of the most delightfully whimsical covers of 1958 — a giant spinning top, striped in cheerful rainbow colors, carries Peter Panda and two wide-eyed children high above a peaceful countryside below. Rube Grossman's cover art captures the mixture of wonder and mild alarm on every face perfectly, as the colorful top's handle spins a glowing orb skyward in a story aptly titled "The Magic Top!" A charming ten-cent treat from DC's lighter side, this issue is a warm reminder of how much fun funny-animal comics could be.
