Gizmo (Mirage)

Mirage Studios, best known for its Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles empire of, toys, games, and movies, has long made a practice of sponsoring up-and-coming comic artists.

Created by Michael Dooney, Gizmo is a sci-fi comedy about a robot of the same name. Gizmo jaunts around space in a self-aware ship named Soto, doing his best to get into trouble. As if he needed help in this quest, he’s aided by his dear good friend and drinking buddy Fluffy Brockelton, a gigantic, furry, dog-like creature. There are no maniac mutants, grim avengers, or gun-toting vigilantes in this series, but Gizmo is loaded with good old-fashioned fun.

This black-and-white series started in 1986.
