Cover by Mo Leff. Stories and art by Mo Leff. United's anthology series presented a different comic-strip character in every issue. This issue features the classic fantasy strip Peter Pat by Mo Leff, and the "topper" strip Percy Penguin. Peter Pat is transported to the magical Pagoland, where he has Little Nemo-like fanciful adventures. The strip, narrated in captions like Prince Valiant, was the first official solo work of Mo Leff, a former assistant to Al Capp and Ham Fisher. The weekly strip only lasted a year, so this probably collects the entire run. Human foibles are illustrated by members of the animal kingdom, in the sardonic Percy Penguin.

Story, Art and Cover by Graham Annable. It's our first 'Will You Please Be Quiet' issue-featuring not as many words as usual! First, in an epic tale by Graham Annable (Box Trolls, Grickle), King Neptune can't stand the racket made by the denizens of Bikini Bottom, so he casts a Bubble of Silence over the whole town-as underwater deities often do. But the shenanigans of SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, and Plankton won't be stopped by a mere lack of sound-and they may prove the undoing of Neptune himself! Plus: a silent 'SpongeFunnies' by Kochalka; a wordless 'Flotsam & Jetsam: Ocean Facts' by Maris Wicks; and two more stories where the only sound… will be your own laughter! (Void where prohibited.) 32 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $3.99.
