American Comics Update: DC Debuts: ‘Take Cover! Here Come…The Maniaks’
*DC: Britain had the Beatles, America had the Monkees, Archie had, um, the Archies… and DC had the Maniaks. From E Nelson Bridwell and Mike Sekowsky, the team that brought you the best of the wacky antics of the Inferior Five, here getting down with the kids to bring you the misadventures of those four loveable mop-tops: Flip, Silver, Jangle and Pack Rat in their bid for pop stardom. Just three issues of Showcase devoted to the Maniaks (Showcase #68, #69, #71) who never graduated to their own series (shame!). But we’ve got all three for you this update! All together now:
‘Take the last train to Knoxville
They are cutting of the service
‘Cause the line’s been losing money
And it makes them pretty nervous
It’s a mess, yes, yes, yes, yes,
Yes, yes, yes, yes!’
As you may have gathered, I’m pretty fond of these…
