Yogi Bear

Yogi Bear is the fast-talking, pic-a-nic basket-stealing bear who calls Jellystone Park home, convinced he is 'smarter than the average bear.' Originally a Hanna-Barbera animated creation, his adventures were adapted into comics beginning with Dell's Four Color #1141 in 1960.

Smarter than the average bear and twice as charming, Yogi Bear made his comic book debut in 1960's Four Color #1141, brought to the page by artist Harvey Eisenberg right at the heart of the Silver Age. Over an remarkable 61-year publishing run of 93 catalogued appearances, this Charlton favorite proved that his appeal was no picnic-basket fluke — with four key issues to his name and starring turns across Yogi Bear, Laff-A-Lympics, and Scooby-Doo. The company he keeps is genuinely all-star Hanna-Barbera royalty: Boo Boo Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, Scooby-Doo, and Fred Flintstone all share his pages, making his comics a warm, nostalgic gathering place for generations of animated-cartoon fans who wanted their favorite characters in their hands as well as on their screens.
