Looney Tunes #222 is classic, true to form as you remember

As with The Simpsons, in our quest to find great all age comic books we sometimes look over the obvious.  Back in the day I purchased Looney Tunes #1 and while the layout has changed a bit the humor and all age appropriateness is still spot on.  It’s rated E for everyone and this is a classic for the parents or a way to teach younger readers about how it’s done.

Looney Tunes #222 consists of three stories, two that are normal length and one short one.  In the first story we meet Bugs Bunny who is on a spaceship.  Marvin the Martian pays him a visit on his quest to conquer Earth.  Slapstick and hilarity ensue with Marvin giving up and meeting Porky Pig who goes to the ship to relieve Bugs.

In 2003: An Out in space Oddity two astronauts are going into space with Tweety Bird and Sylvester.  A cat and mouse in space, it’ll never work out and it doesn’t.  Bunny and the Beast is a fable take on the classic story with Lola Bunny and Taz taking the leads.

The art in Looney Tunes is classic and just as parents remember.  The all age comic book is rated E for everyone.  There is nothing objectionable at all in the book and its price is only $2.99, that a buck cheaper than most comics on the market.

Also, because of the nature of the stories in Looney Tunes readers can jump in at any time.  There are no continuing stories and they’re all wrapped up in 8-10 pages.   Also, because the parents like the book younger readers might be more apt to like it as it’s cool and not babyish.

One really great thing about the book is that DC puts out a sheet that has all of their E rated comics for the month.  For example, the month Batman ’66 #18, Teen Titans Go! #7 and Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #52 comes out for all age comic fans.
