Original stories based on the comic strip.  Funny!

Billy the Kid #74

This was an engaging series.  Billy the Kid, the notorious gunslinger, reformed and became a lawman.  So this series is all about Billy the Kid taking on bandits with his gun-shooting skills.

Black Fury #35

An interesting comic series.  It's labeled as "Western" because it's the only category this really fits, but the lead character is not a cowboy.  A wild, black stallion known as Black Fury is the lead and only regular character.  The narrator voices Black Fury's thoughts and actions, and the reader simply follows the situations he gets involved with.

Black Fury #47


The Flintstones #4

The Flintstones was better in comic books than in cartoons.  The continuous, abbreviated sight gags of which the Flintstones is noted works better in a series of cartoon panels than it does in a stretched-out, 30-minute or more cartoon show.  In the comics, it's one funny little joke after another, and this makes it very entertaining.

Ghostly Tales #166

There were many good, non-violent horror comics from various publishers.  This is one such series.  This series was great for giving us interesting characters and stories with no gore.  There was a lot more skill in horror writing and art back then.  Very stylish.

My Little Margie #26

Based on the TV series, this comic took on a life of its own.  "My Little Margie" was done in a very Archie-esque style; sleek, colorful, and pretty.  But the stories have a lot more spunk and attitude than Archie.  Margie's a pistol!  I liked how readers could send in ideas for Margie's outfits and have them brought to life in the comics with name credit!  How neat!  Worthwhile reading for everyone!  Not a "girl" comic per se, although Margie is the central character.
