Harvey Comics Hits

    (Harvey, 1951-1953)
™ and © Harvey Comic Publications
Harvey Comics Hits #61 becomes Casper, the Friendly Ghost (1st Series), beginning with issue #7. Harvey Comics Hits #60 and 62 become Paramount Animated Comics starting with issue #3.

Though basically an anthology series like Harvey Hits Comics, Harvey Comics Hits was home to the debut issues of two other successful Harvey series. Harvey Comics Hits #60 and 62 were really Paramount Animated Comics #1 and 2 (but collected here), which continued on as Paramount Animated Comics proper as of issue #3. Casper the Friendly Ghost #6 was actually called Harvey Comics Hits #61, but was officially renamed and continued as its own series in Casper the Friendly Ghost (1st Series) #7.

Confused? Many Harvey fans are. Other issues in the Harvey Comics Hits series include those starring The Phantom and The Invisible Scarlet O’Neil.
