Atomic Mouse (inspiration for Mighty Mouse?)

Atomic Mouse is a pretty cool comic book that I remember reading when I was a kid. Could the inspiration for Mighty Mouse have originated here?

Atomic Mouse was the first and most successful superhero series from Charlton Comics and Vince Fago is credited for the story.

Atomic Mouse is a comical superhero. I might bring you more of this super mouse if there is enough interest.

The Lion and the Mouse

Remember this fairy tale about the lion and the mouse? The story is sometimes used to teach kids the importance of being kind to others.

There have been complete cartoons that use this story. Here is a nice version of it from an old comic book.

Mixed Up Comic

Stop! Don't tell me. There is something wrong with this picture but I can't quite figure it out.

This comic quacks me up. (You can moan now)

Willie

I thought this comic, taken from Sparkler Comics comic book, was kinda cute. What do you think?

Mutt and Jeff

Mutt and Jeff was the first successful American newspaper comic printed as a strip of panels instead of a single panel. It originated back in 1907 and at first focused on a single character.

It later became a comic book. Here is the comic being used as an advertisement for the San Francisco Chronicle.

Captain Marvel Junior

This Captain Marvel Junior comic book was published in 1947. The character actually first appeared in 1941. He was actually a spin off of the Captain Marvel superhero in that he turned into Captain Marvel but as a teenage boy.

He also said "Captain Marvel" to transform instead of saying "Shazam".

Fritzi Ritz

Fritzi Ritz started out as a somewhat shallow figure who mainly thought about men and clothes and money. Eventually she became a down to earth woman when Nancy came along. Nancy started out as a house guest but somewhere along the line Fritzi was Nancy's aunt. I'm speaking of  Nancy from the Nancy and Sluggo comic.

I always liked this cartoon but don't you even think I'm that old. :-) Fritzi got her start in 1922. Sh was still going strong in the funnies in the 60's.
