Around the Block [with Dunc & Loo]

John Stanley and Bill Williams brought a gentle, offbeat charm to this single-issue Dell comic from 1961, following the everyday misadventures of two kids, Dunc and Loo, in their neighborhood. Though it only ran for one issue, it stands as a curious snapshot of Stanley's knack for capturing the small dramas of childhood, a style he honed on better-known series. For fans of mid-century humor comics, it's a brief but intriguing footnote from a beloved writer's career.
