Super Mario Adventures

Nintendo of America’s 1993 one-shot Super Mario Adventures adapts the classic video game series into a single, colorful comic issue. Written by Kentaro Takekuma and Leslie Swan, with art by Charlie Nozawa, it captures the whimsical, action-packed spirit of the Mushroom Kingdom’s most famous plumber. Though brief, this standalone release stands as a charming, officially licensed snapshot of Mario’s early-’90s heyday.
