Little Iodine

A pint-sized bundle of mischief with a big personality, Little Iodine burst onto the Dell Comics scene in 1951, courtesy of the legendary Chic Young — the cartoonist genius behind Blondie — bringing that same warm, humor-soaked sensibility to this irrepressible young troublemaker. A true Golden Age charmer, she headlined her own Dell series and graced the pages of Family Funnies through the late 1950s, embodying the era's love of wholesome, laugh-out-loud comic strip energy translated straight to the four-color page. Though her catalog footprint is modest, there's something genuinely delightful about discovering a character this full of life tucked into the sunnier corners of mid-century American comics.
