X-MAS ON 1956 PLAYHOUR FRONT COVERS



To celebrate the Holiday Season, here’s a nice sequence of 4 covers of PLAYHOUR young children’s comic from December 1956 featuring Dicky and Dolly & Co., illustrated (I believe) by Harold McCready. The realism of those anthropomorphic animal characters has a strange air of creepiness, don’t you think?

    The owl may be a little creepy, but the other animals look cute. If this title was still on sale today, I'd probably buy it based on those covers.
