ASIFA: Adventures of Big Boy

ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive: Comics: Big Boy And The Power Of Licensing: "At the [Big Boy] restaurants, Wian gave away free comic books featuring the character. Here is an extremely rare example... Big Boy comics number one from 1956. These comics were produced by Timely Comics, which later became Marvel. They were written by Stan Lee and drawn by Bill Everett. Later issues featured the work of Archie comics artist, Dan DeCarlo. Adventures of the Big Boy is one of the longest continuously running comic book lines. It's still being produced fifty years later."

Cool! The very first issue online. I had no idea Stan Lee wrote and Bill Everett drew. I remember the very cool issues done by one of my all-time favorite artists, Manny Stallman (whose style was wild). Check it out...
