Marge signed an agreement in 1944 with Western Publishing Company for publishing and distributing a variety of books, comics, and other publications which featured Little Lulu and other characters assiciated with her in stories, pictures, or other printed form. This included coloring and other activity books, phonograph records, games, puzzles, and sewing cards. The agreement also included comic panel rights for newspaper publication. This page contains information about the comic books. I will put some comic covers here to show a variety of months and the changes in the covers over time.You may click on the thumbnails to see a larger image. (This page is still under construction.)
