Here is a strange item from the past- a comic book published by... some company. It was done in conjunction with ABC's new Saturday morning lineup. It featured characters from all their new series. Where else would you see several different comic book companies all in one book? The FF and Spidey were just reprints from older stories, and maybe the Casper story was as well. The other stories starring King Kong, George of the Jungle and the crew from Journey to the Center of the Earth were almost assuredly originals. I might have been interested in purchasing this 68 page giant had I seen it on the stands. I was not quite reading anything yet, though.Not surprisingly, the Marvel stories contain the best art and story, with the Casper story being pretty good as well. The others are adequate for what they are. I would have wanted to watch most of these cartoons, but dang, with the lineups on the other channels that year, it would have been hard to choose. Spidey would have won his time slot, though. Oddly, there were no dinosaurs in the Journey... story.
