And now, the fourth and final issue of Super Heroes, Dell Comics' 1967 attempt to cash in on the brief superhero boom inspired by Batman's TV success. We've already seen Super Heroes # 1, and # 2, and # 3, but this fourth issue was the only one I knew as a seven-year-old in '67. I presume that either my older brother Art or older sister Denise bought it; I subsequently saw it and loved it. My affection for the characters stems from that specific fond memory. And hey--it's superheroes and rock 'n' roll, which oughtta be a natural for me! I suspect the good folks at Dell may not have known their Sonny & Cher from their Mothers Of Invention, but I loved it anyway.
The Fab Four is believed to be an orphaned property, no longer under copyright. The Fab Four appear in new adventures in the pages of Popular Comics, published by InDELLible Comics. You can see El, Hy, Polly, and Crispy (among others) right on the cover.
