Gravel Slag

A quirky Silver Age creation who first rolled onto the scene in Harry Lucey's Life with Archie #78 in 1968, Gravel Slag is one of those delightfully offbeat characters whose catalog footprint spans a surprising thirty years. Their appearances touch an eclectic range of titles — from Life with Archie to Cartoon Network Presents — and the company they keep is wonderfully wild: Penelope Pitstop, Dick Dastardly, Muttley, and even Bugs Bunny all share the page. Four catalog appearances may be a modest tally, but for fans who love the animated, anarchic energy of comics at the intersection of Archie and cartoon culture, Gravel Slag is a genuinely fun find worth tracking down.
