Little Hiawatha was part of the Silly Symphony series of cartoons so it only seems appropriate the little brave made the cover of this 1955 Silly Symphonies "Giant" comic book. Of the other characters features only Bucky Bug came from an actual Silly Symphony, Bugs in Love (or at least Bucky was inspired by a character from that Silly... or was it the other way around?) Anyhow, Hiawatha finds himself in some mighty big company on this cover drawn by Paul Murry.
I would LOVE to get my hands on this! I'm reading through The Encyclopedia of Walt Disney's Animated Characters by John Grant right now.
