Story by William Robinson. Art by Sam Huger. Giveaway comic produced for Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited (HARYOU) by Custom Comics Inc. Numbered as number 5 but there is no evidence that the other 4 issues exist. Possibly this was numbered 5 because there may have been 4 previous non-comic outreach publications.

Volume 5 - 1st printing. "Harvey Girls!" They're cute, they're clever and they're obsessive! Some of Harvey Comics' biggest stars were three "little" girls with large dreams, enormous hearts and king-size laughs: Little Audrey, Little Dot, and Little Lotta. Audrey was a Paramount Pictures animated cartoon movie star, who became a major comic-book headliner in 1948. Her comic-book stories were filled with ingenuity and her spunky, proto-feminist antics rivaled those of her cartoon progenitor, Little Lulu. The strangely obsessive Little Dot has become a cult figure through the years. Her love of dots and her unique coterie of eccentric uncles and aunts became the basis for some of the funniest stories in comic-book history. Last, but hardly least, is Little Lotta who defied the "big" girl stereotype with adventures showcasing an incredible strength that equaled her insatiable appetite. Softcover, 480 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $19.95.
