Friday Fun HARVEY "Here's Harvey"

Here's the "origin" story of a red-headed Bronze Age Archie clone named Harvey published by Marvel...

...in its' final attempt at the teenage humor market!
Written by Stan Lee and illustrated in an extremely-Dan DeCarlo-esque style by Stan Goldberg, this never-reprinted story from Marvel's Harvey #1 (1970) was the final story in the first of only six issues in the title's brief run.
Judge for yourself as to why...
BTW, Harvey Hooper and his crew were a revamp of an earlier Atlas (pre-Marvel) humor title...
...which was an even more blatant Archie clone...and has also never been reprinted, despite scripts by Stan Lee and pretty good art by Hy Rosen!

Friday Fun HARVEY "Beauty and the Beach"

When summer vacation comes, comic book teens run for, where else...
...the beach!
This never-reprinted tale from Marvel's Harvey #5 (1972) was the penultimate issue of their last attempt at "teen" humor.
Written and penciled by Stu Schwartzberg and inked by Henry Scarpelli (clearly imitating Dan DeCarlo's art style which became the "look" of Archie Comics), this book and Millie the Model ended in 1972-73, leaving Archie and his spawn standing alone (except for occasional one-shots) in the teen humor genre to this day.
