Sparkle

Approved Comics, Inc. announced Sparkle in 1953 and has kept the title on its roster ever since, a fascinating example of a series existing as a perpetual placeholder rather than a published comic. Though no issues were ever released, its remarkably long lifespan—spanning decades without a single physical appearance—makes it an oddity in the industry. For collectors and historians, Sparkle represents the quiet mystery of a comic that was always intended but never quite materialized.
