Harvey Hits Comics (1986–1987)

📘 Series Summary

A mid-80s revival of the classic Harvey Hits anthology brand. This 6-issue run served as a showcase for Harvey’s legendary stable of characters, reintroducing them to a new generation of readers before the larger 1990s relaunch. The series featured standard 32-page issues at an initial 75-cent cover price.

  • Anthology Format: Continued the tradition of featuring rotating lead stories starring icons like Richie Rich, Casper, Wendy, and Hot Stuff.
  • Price Variant: Issue #5 contains a notable 0.89 cent cover price variant (#5B), distinct from the standard 75-cent edition (#5A).
  • Holiday Special: Issue #3 was designated as the "Holiday Issue," featuring seasonal stories published in early 1987.
  • Classic Aesthetic: Maintained the traditional Harvey "look and feel" during a decade when many other publishers were shifting toward more mature or grit-oriented content.
  • Short Run: The series concluded with issue #6 in October 1987, making it a manageable set for collectors of 80s humor comics.
