Frank Merriwell at Yale

Frank Merriwell at Yale, a short-lived four-issue series from Charlton in the mid-1950s, adapts the classic collegiate adventure stories of its title character. Written primarily by Joe Gill with art by the then-emerging Dick Giordano, the comic captures the clean-cut, can-do spirit of the original dime novels. It stands as a charming, period-specific artifact of Charlton's attempt to bring a beloved turn-of-the-century hero to a new generation of comic readers.
