UPA COMICS

upa comics


Here are four issues of UPA's first comic book: Dell's "GERALD McBOING BOING AND THE NEAR SIGHTED MR. MAGOO". This series ran five issues in 1952-53 - then Dell published seven more issues of just plain "MR. MAGOO" spread out over the next decade. DC's FOX & CROW outsold the Dell UPA comics no doubt, but for Columbia Pictures, Magoo & McBoing Boing brought more prestige at the box office - and that's what counts!
