Li'l Menace

Al Fago’s short-lived, three-issue series for Fago Magazines, Li’l Menace (1958–1959), stars a mischievous, pint-sized troublemaker whose antics drive the humor in each self-contained story. Written and drawn entirely by Fago, the comic captures the playful, slightly anarchic spirit of late-1950s kids’ humor comics, with a single-creator vision that gives the series a consistent, charmingly handmade feel. Though brief, it’s a neat snapshot of the era’s lighter, gag-driven storytelling.
