Noodles

Noodles made their comic book entrance in the Bronze Age, debuting in Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm #12 (1973) from Charlton Comics — that scrappy, beloved publisher that gave so many characters a colorful home on the spinner racks of the era. Sharing pages with the likes of Pebbles Flintstone, Bamm-Bamm Rubble, and the wonderfully named Fabian Fabquartz and Zonk, Noodles clearly ran in a lively, fun-loving prehistoric crowd. With seven appearances across a short but spirited run through 1976, this is the kind of charming supporting player that makes digging through Bronze Age Charlton back issues such a rewarding treasure hunt for collectors who love the full, rich texture of a series — not just the headliners.
