I have sweet memories of my niece and me drinking Kool-Aid and reading her "girlie" comics like Sugar and Spike and all the cheesy Harvey Comics. I haven't checked out their new series yet.  |

I haven't checked out their new series yet. “Girlie” comics? Little Lotta was a badass! 😈 I loved the old Harvey Comics line (as well as stuff put out by Archie Comics and Gold Key). None of the shops in town sold comic books, so I’d only come across them occasionally. That’s likely why I gravitated towards the “funny” titles, as they all had self-contained stories. Still, I love the insane covers DC used back then to pique readers’ interest. (The stories themselves are totally simplistic and juvenile, but those covers! 😂) |

 Speaking of Gold Key and Beatards, I still have a minty copy of Yellow Submarine. SHiTEs, I am taking offers by PM. |

Hmmm. True dat. 35¢ was actually expensive for a comic book back then. In which case my auction will have to go for a minimum.

Actually, weren’t comic books still 12¢ when that Yellow Submarine one came out? I wonder how many kids actually chose one Beatle-related comic instead of three regular issues? (FWIW, just last week I learned that the artist who drew the Yellow Sub comic was the artist for the Monkees comic over at Dell.) |
