Henry (Carl Anderson’s…)

Carl Anderson’s Henry, familiar to Sunday newspaper readers the world over, enjoyed a run of comic book popularity during the 1950s. After a few trial appearances in Dell’s Four Color Comics, Henry got his own series which allowed longer, fuller stories than the simple half-page gag strips that ran in the newspapers.

Henry is a normal kid about twelve years old, distinctively bald and bulbous, and with a naive charm due to his simply drawn, blank features. He has a knack for getting in trouble with teachers, parents, neighbors, girlfriends, and the neighborhood bully, but always manages to get the best of the situation. Henry comics generally feature three or four eight-page Henry stories, a backup feature called “Little Guy,” and a one-page text story.
