    Cover by Mo Leff. Stories and art by Mo Leff. United's anthology series presented a different comic-strip character in every issue. This issue features the classic fantasy strip Peter Pat by Mo Leff, and the "topper" strip Percy Penguin. Peter Pat is transported to the magical Pagoland, where he has Little Nemo-like fanciful adventures. The strip, narrated in captions like Prince Valiant, was the first official solo work of Mo Leff, a former assistant to Al Capp and Ham Fisher. The weekly strip only lasted a year, so this probably collects the entire run. Human foibles are illustrated by members of the animal kingdom, in the sardonic Percy Penguin. Home Towners; Peter Pat; Percy Penguin. 64 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.

    Cover by Al Capp. Stories and art by Al Capp. United's anthology series presented a different comic-strip character in every issue. This issue focuses on the hillbilly antics of Al Capp's Dogpatch, and features the second appearance of Li'l Abner in a comic book. The antics of Dogpatch's cornpone population befuddle Li'l Abner, even while they comment satirically on 1940s American culture. Capp's art style and writing are close to the peak of their precision. 64 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
