The Archie comics run marked the last time Scrappy was a regular character in a Scooby Doo series. Thankfully, unlike the TV shows he was a part of, his inclusion doesn't exclude Fred and/or Velma. So he's actually tolerable as a member of the gang.

This series also wasn't afraid to be loose and wacky when it came to the art. While it's not always pretty (or on model), it's at least interesting to look at.



In the premiere issue we find out that Daphne is an elitist when it comes to amusement parks. And then Fred and Shaggy go to prison!

As always, I don't mind if people use these scans to make icons or whatever (I can't claim "ownership" of a book with characters that clearly aren't mine just because I scanned it). But credit would be much appreciated if you do opt to use them or show them off elsewhere. Thanks!

In this issue, the gang tangles with a transportation pod, a not-so-scary scarecrow, and  then they learn how to use an animation camera.

This issue is my new personal favorite! Mainly because it gives us a great insight into Daphne's character, the girls' relationship, and it does a surprisingly awesome job with a tired sexist story trope!


First up, the gang gets roped into an adventure with Candidate Dracula! And Scooby Doo gets political!

This next story is just AWESOME. It's a Daphne-centric plot where she enters a beauty pageant. That description may sound lame. But this actually succeeds at being a great story, an insight into Daphne's character, and most importantly...
...it's a story centered on Daphne's good looks that doesn't exploit Daphne OR denigrate Velma!! That's right, a Scooby Doo comic published in 1974 is more realistic and respectful in it's treatment of female characters than a certain other Scooby cartoon that aired just a few weeks ago!!

Here are some improved scans (to replace the crappy originals :P) of the DC Comics story "Roswell Riddle". It's a notable story for this comm because it spawed this picture that we have all had lots of fun taking out of context (and using to make sappy icons ~_^):





Enjoy, everyone!!

( Shiny new scans under the cut...... )

In this issue the gang battles with King Neptune, Scooby becomes the star of his own reality show 30 years before reality shows were a thing, and Dynomutt dons a Hugh Heffner costume.

Plus the return of the horribly inappropriate 70s advertisements!

In this issue, the gang crashes their van into an ice cream factory, Scooby decides he wants to be a singer at the worst possible time, and Blue Falcon & Dynomut face off against an unexpected villain.

In this issue art imitates life, Shaggy joins the Wonderbolts 40+ years early, and Scooby falls into a strange archeological discovery.

So, I got two Laff-A-Lympics comic books for the heck of it a few months back. And I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the books are a thousand times better than the cartoon they're based on!
[see my review of the cartoon here]

While the cartoon never took advantage of the cross-over element (it opted to show all these characters playing boring sports contests instead :P); the comics show all the different characters teaming up, going on adventures, and bringing in side characters from the various shows. Unlike the boring TV show, the Laff-A-Lympics comics are actually fun. And I wanted to share two of them here so you can see for yourself.

Issue #8 (1978)
The Laff-A-Lympics go to Bagdad! With special guest stars Velma Dinkley, Daphne Blake, and Fred Jones!

Issue #11
With Special Guest Star Elroy Jetson!!




( Scans under the cut.... )

In this issue, Scooby acts like a jerky diva (and then gets a taste of his own medicine) and the gang gets in trouble when they mess around with a time machine.

And we get some completely inappropriate ads that have no place in a children's book!

The Dragon's Eye was a mystery that spanned six issues of the DC comics back in 2001-2002. I thought it would be nice to compile that whole story in one place so it could be read in a straight shot. Enjoy!!
