LITTLE LULU
INDEX, Part 2
by Jon Merrill
Following is an index of all the stories in the
Little Lulu comics from LL 115 (January 1958) through LL 164 (July-Sept 1962),
and is a continuation of my early document of the comics through LL 114. The top line on the same line as the date is
a description of the cover. Titles of
stories, as well as one-line plot summaries, follow, as well as number of
pages. I have also indicated my personal
ratings of what I think are the best stories, from one star to two stars to
three stars.
This index is meant to aid Little Lulu collectors in
locating a particular story they remember, so that they can look for the
particular issue for their collections.
Note also that there is reprint information, as well as trivia involving
first appearances of characters, that sort of thing.
Please let me know by e-mail (jonmerrill@aol.com) if you find any errors
or any entry that is incomplete. I will
keep adding to the index until all the Little Lulus and Tubbys
and giants are done.
