Peter Rabbit Comics

Published by Avon from 1947 to 1949, Peter Rabbit Comics ran for six issues, adapting Beatrix Potter's beloved woodland characters into the four-color comic book format. The series was most frequently handled by writer-artists Harrison Cady and Mal Eaton, who brought a gentle, whimsical energy to the adventures of Peter and his friends. While short-lived, it stands as a charming, early example of classic children's literature being translated for the burgeoning postwar comic book audience.
