George of the Jungle

Few characters swing into comics with quite the same breezy charm as George of the Jungle, who made his four-color debut in the Silver Age gem America's Best TV Comics in 1967, brought to the page by artist Warren Kremer. A product of that wonderfully inventive late-'60s moment when Saturday-morning animation and comic books fed each other's energy, George shares his jungle adventures with the likes of Ursula, Ape, and Shep — a cast that perfectly captures the warmhearted absurdity of the era. His appearances in the catalog are rare, making those few Western Publishing issues genuinely fun finds for collectors with a soft spot for Silver Age TV tie-ins and the nostalgic magic they carry.
