Adventures of the Super Mario Bros.

Based on the hit video game and cartoon, this Acclaim/Valiant series ran for nine issues beginning in 1991, blending the Mushroom Kingdom with other Nintendo worlds. Writers Bill Vallely, Mark McClellan, and Bryan D. Leys teamed with artists like George Wildman and Mike Chen to send Mario and Luigi on adventures alongside Captain N, Kid Icarus, and Kevin Keene. The comic is a colorful artifact of the early '90s multimedia boom, capturing the playful crossover spirit of Nintendo's extended universe.
