FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS: VOLUME ONE PREMIUM COLOR EDITION:COLLECTING ISSUES #5-9 RETRO COMIC REPRINTS #87
FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS was a long-running comic strip, primarily remembered for its continuing storyline
involving a group of teenagers. The stories were set in the peaceful small town of Shadyside where Freckles
McGoosey and his various friends lived. Freckles, may appear at first brush to be yet another redheaded
teenage humor protagonist. His comic strips actually predates other red headed characters Hap Hazard, Henry
Brewster and that Andrews kid. He had a goofy sidekick named Lard, and the girls at his high school were, of
course beautiful.
Although Freckles and His Friends lasted more than half a century and was syndicated in nearly 700 newspapers,
the strip was never adapted to radio, movies or television. It also was not a well known comic book series. For all
the series longevity in newspapers as a strip, it only had two comic series. The first comic book series, published
by Standard (Nedor) late in 1947 only lasted eight issues. The second series was published by Argo in 1955 and
lasted all of four issues. The first series, by Standard started at #5 and ran until issue 12. The second series began
at issue #1 and went until issue #4, so the publishing sequence is #5-12 then #1-4....weird.
Retro Comic Reprints has all twelve issues. Volume One contains issues #5-9 of the Standard series and Volume
Two collects issues #10-12 of the Standard series and issues #1 through 4 of the Argo series.
This book is available in hard cover and trade paperback formats as well as in both full color and black & white
editions.
