A Mavel Oddity: America's Best TV comics
« on: April 19, 2013, 02:26:38 AM »

This time out I explore a 1967 comic packaged by Marvel for ABC, promoting their Saturday morning cartoons. If you like a look at some obscure cartoons and television programs (as well as a healthy dose of comics related info) you might enjoy this one:

A minor point:  GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE was backed by Superchicken and Tom Slick, IN THAT ORDER.  I watched the show when it was first-run, in reruns in the 70's, and since then on numerous occasions.  There was a period (in the 80's? 90's?) when, inexplicably, the latter 2 features were reversed. I KNEW it was wrong., It didn't even "feel" right.  But the last time I saw some station running the show, the prints they had were the correct ones.

Fascinating to see how various "Marvel" artists did work that looked nothing like "Marvel".

I remember picking this one up off the stands but haven't seen a copy in years. 

Didn't remember those ads for Custer, Cowboy in Africa, The Second Hundred Years, Off to See the Wizard and The Flying Nun.  I watched 'em all but only the last one ran very long.

Thanks for bringing back the memories, Nick.
