The Toon Treasury of Classic Children's Comics


Another interesting find from Boing Boing:  a giant collection of stories for kids from classic comic books published from the 1930s through 1960s.  The Toon Treasury of Classic Children's Comics features 60 stories with characters including Dennis the Menace, Donald Duck, Gerald McBoing Boing, Little Archie, Little Lulu, Pogo, Sugar and Spike, Uncle Scrooge and more.  It looks like a really fun anthology for both kids and adults.
