George Was Also in Comic Books
Posted by maggie

In mulling my Jan. 21 posting on George of the Jungle, I realize I never indicated there was actually (briefly) a George of the Jungle comic book from Gold Key. It ran two issues in 1969, and here's a panel from #2:



The two other featured characters also appeared in the comic book. Here's Tom Slick:



And here's Super Chicken (in his alter ego):



Unusually among comic-book licensees, the stories in the Gold Key series seem to me to have adapted scripts of actual TV episodes -- though I'll be able to tell better, once I get my mitts on the DVD set.

A Super Chicken panel was a visual clue for the World's Largest Trivia Contest in nearby Stevens Point, Wis., a few years ago.

The day we received the clues, I knew that that panel (with Super Chicken and Fred in silhouette parachuting down) featured the duo and a quick check of Maggie's comics confirmed it.
