Wee Pals: Happy Birthday, America!

Morrie Turner's Wee Pals: Happy Birthday, America! is a single-issue 1975 comic from New American Library, celebrating the U.S. Bicentennial through the eyes of his beloved, groundbreaking multiracial "Rainbow Gang" cast. Written and drawn entirely by Turner, this special issue stands as a warm, patriotic snapshot from the creator who pioneered diversity in newspaper comics with his long-running Wee Pals strip. It's a charming, historically-minded artifact from a key moment in Turner's career and in American popular culture.
