Spunky

Published by Pines from 1949 to 1951, Spunky was a seven-issue comic series centered on the adventures of its plucky title character. The book is particularly notable for early work from legendary artist Frank Frazetta, who contributed alongside frequent collaborator Jack Bradbury, with stories penned by writers like Jane West and Pat Cherr. A short-lived but charming entry in the post-war funny animal and adventure comic boom, it remains a fascinating glimpse into Frazetta’s formative years in the medium.
