Little Eva

Little Eva was a fictional female character published throughout the 1950s. Making her debut in 1952, Eva became St John's starring attraction after the Little Audrey license passed on to Harvey. Employing the same artists and writers, Little Eva continued the slapstick tradition established by her predecessor. While not in the same league as its rivals, the strip continued into the early sixties, published first by St John, then by Pines-Nedor, with a single issue put out by Ajax Farrell, under the title Eva the Imp. Interestingly, Little Eva was even translated into French under the name "Rosette" - at a time when strict limitations were imposed on the number of American comics available in Europe.
