Daisy Mayhem

Bursting onto the Bronze Age comics scene in 1978, Daisy Mayhem made her debut in Laff-A-Lympics #1 — the Marvel series that turned Hanna-Barbera's animated all-star competition into four-color fun — courtesy of writer Mark Evanier. With just eleven appearances to her name, she's a delightful rarity, a character whose charm lies precisely in the wonderfully chaotic company she keeps: sharing pages with the likes of Captain Caveman, Yogi Bear, Dynomutt, and Hong Kong Phooey. For collectors who love the intersection of classic animation and Bronze Age Marvel, Daisy Mayhem is exactly the kind of hidden gem that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding.
