About the series
Marvel’s 1986–1987 Popples comic ran for four issues, bringing the colorful, toyetic creatures to the page in adventures that matched the cheerful, slapstick tone of their animated series. Stan Kay and Tony Franco handled the writing, while John Costanza provided the art, keeping the Popples’ signature bounce and whimsy intact. Though short-lived, the series is a neat snapshot of mid-80s licensed comics, offering a playful, uncomplicated read for young fans of the era.
