We're back with our little weirdies from this morning's post.
Before looking inside these odd little comics, let's look outside and find out what we're dealing with:
Back in '67 Topps decided bubble gum cards weren't enough - bubble gum comics were needed! Who are we to gainsay such wisdom? And only a nickel for gum and comics - joy!
Admittedly, very short comics - 8 pages including front & back covers, and each page a single panel. But they had both Marvel and DC comics, so that puts them over on the shelf with Captain Action. The Krazy Little Comics didn't last long, only the one series of which i'm aware.
Let's go inside 3 of the comics (we saw their covers last time) to see what they were like.
BadMan-
The Amusing Spider-Guy -
Jester's League of America -
Hmm...
Now i'm getting cravings for old Wacky Packages.

Not sure whether these were ever available in Britain, don't remember seeing them at the time. Maybe they were though. (My finger's right on the pulse, eh?)
ReplyDeleteWell, don't look at me. Even when i was a lifeguard i had trouble finding the pulse.
