I didn’t expect much from this collection of old Scooby comics published by Gold Key in the 1970s (here's the Amazon link). Comics from that era - especially kiddie comics - tended to be pretty bad. But, surprisingly, the characterization was spot on and, at times, even surpassed the original TV show! The art was even decent; even if it did make some odd color choices…
A PINK MYSTERY MACHINE!? WTF!?
( Review under the cut.... )
The vintage ads are, by far, the BEST part of these old comics! Seeing these old ads alone was well worth the money I paid for this CD-rom! For example:
If any of you can tell me what the hell a “snurf” is, I’ll give you a present! My theory is that the artist behind this ad was supposed to do an advertisement for an ordinary skateboard. But he got really stoned (it WAS the 70s) and made this instead.
( More crack-tastic vintage ads under the cut..... )
Well, to make a LONG freakin’ nostalgia trip short, this CD-rom collection of old Scooby Doo comics is worth WAY more than it’s dirt cheap price! This massive pic-spam of a review didn’t even scratch the surface of all the funny and/or weird stuff contained in this CD-rom! Head to Amazon and buy it now! Even if you’re not a Scooby fan, all the old ads and the non-Scooby comics that occasionally pop up are fun to read. And reading it feels a bit like picking up a time capsule.
It's available at Amazon.com for only $2.99. And it's an absolute steal at that price! Go get it now!
