Little Iodine [Giant Comic Album]

A single oversized 1972 issue from the Modern era, Little Iodine [Giant Comic Album] collects the classic newspaper strip's mischievous young star in a treasury-sized package. Published by the same company that brought Dennis the Menace to comics, this album stands as the only dedicated comic-book appearance of the bratty, pigtailed heroine created by cartoonist Jimmy Hatlo. It matters as a compact, colorful snapshot of a once-ubiquitous newspaper character, preserved for a new generation in the giant-comic boom of the early 1970s.
