Yuletide Tidings LITTLE WOMEN Part 1

It's hard to believe that, until the past couple of years...

...there was only one comics adaptation of the classic book Little Women!

And it was part of an early 1980s book-and-record set marketed towards pre-teens!

(No, there never was a Classics Illustrated version!)

Here's Part 1, with Part 2 to follow on Christmas Eve!

The adaptor of Louisa May Alcott's novel is unknown, but the art is co-penciled by Rich Buckler & Dick Giordano and inked by Giordano.

Yuletide Tidings TEEN-AGERS INGENUE "Susie's Theory of Relativity...or How to Live with Relatives at Christmas"

It's strangely-difficult to find Christmas-themed romance comics...

...but teen magazines like this Dell's Teen-Agers Ingenue from the early 1960s help fill the void!

Susan Perl also contributed to Harvey Kurtman's HELP!, as well as hundreds of children's books (and some adult stuff too!)!

Italian Billionare's Christmas Miracle

Yuletide Tidings PEP COMICS "Archie in 'Christmas Cheers' "

It's comics' all-American boy...as most of you don't know him...

...a buck-toothed, layabout, closer to Reggie (who doesn't appear in this tale), than the wholesome teen of today!
(BTW, for an explanation of War Bonds, and why Archie's dad invested part of his son's $50 check, go HERE!)

Written by Harry Sahle and Ed Goggin, penciled by Sahle and inked by "Ginger" (Virginia Drury), this story from MLJ's Pep Comics #46 (1944) is notable for the debut of two characters; Pop Tate, owner of "Pop's Chocklit Shop" (Called "Tate's" in this tale), and Gabby, a short-lived character who screwed-up other people's lives by continually blabbing things others were not meant to know!

As you can see, the original Bob Montana character designs (which Sahle and Drury matched almost exactly) had not yet been updated to the streamlined Dan DeCarlo versions, which serve as the primary templates of the characters from the 1950s to this day!
