The Three Stooges

    (Gold Key, 1959-1972, 2022)
™ and © Western Publishing Company, Inc.
Series continued from appearances in Four Color Comics

Larry, Moe and Curly—the Three Stooges—have been screen icons since the 1930s and their slapstick antics in hundreds of short features over the years have entertained millions. The fanciful lunacy and physical humor of the Stooges makes them naturals for comic books. The team starred in several long-running series—first for St. John Publishing in the 1940s, and then again with Dell/Gold Key, the kings of media tie-in comics, from the late 50s to the 70s. The comics occasionally adapted stories from the films, but more often put the Stooges in typical humor situations and worked the familiar routines for eight pages of gags. Much of the readers’ enjoyment of these books will come by providing a mental soundtrack of the Stooges’ familiar Noo Yawk accents and the wacky sound effects that accompany their various pratfalls and mishaps.
