The “Little Lulu” Mystique

Posted by Jen Gruskoff on March 16, 2010 at 10:00am

Little Lulu, created by Marge Buell in 1935, has been a part of my life since I took my five-year-old daughter, Ava to Meltdown, an impressive comic book shop on the Sunset Strip. We needed to buy a gift for a friend of hers, and were looking for something off the beaten path of Target and Toys-R-Us. I thought that Meltdown would be a fun place to check out. Little did I know that I would be making many trips here, mostly for gifts for Ava, over the next several years.

At Meltdown, you can find a great selection of comic books, new and old, collectibles, toys and cool clothes for infants and babies. But it was the big-mouthed girl with the black oval eyes and what looks like cinnamon buns on her head that caught Ava’s attention. Ava hadn’t started reading then, but I could see she was really trying hard to work out the narrative of the story. It was fascinating to watch. What parent doesn’t love to see their kid with a book? So, I  bought it for her, and it has literally been a four year love affair between Ava and Lulu.
