National Comics #68
"Leo, the Lion Man" kicks off with a charming mix of mistaken identity and quiet humor in this 1948 Quality Comics standout. Written, drawn, and inked by Bernard Dibble, the story follows Lassie’s heartfelt poem that accidentally sends Uncle Balty into a panic, prompting a hasty departure—only to discover the truth in a moment of unexpected clarity. The cover by Klaus Nordling captures the whimsy of the tale with a bold, expressive image that perfectly sets the tone.
