Hanna-Barbera Harlem Globetrotters

In the early 1970s, Western Publishing brought the beloved, fast-breaking antics of the Harlem Globetrotters to the four-color page, teaming the basketball stars with the Hanna-Barbera cartoon universe. Over 12 issues, writer Don R. Christensen and artist Dan Spiegle anchored the series, blending slapstick sports comedy with globe-trotting adventures that captured the team's signature showmanship. A lighthearted, family-friendly title from the Golden Age of licensed comics, it stands as a charming snapshot of how pop culture icons of the era crossed over into sequential art.
