I only have a handful of Yogi Issues, but I thought I'd show the covers anyway, just to give all you crazy Crivs an idea of what it looked like in case you missed it at the time. As you can see, a couple of them are quite worn, as it's difficult to track down better condition copies at a reasonable price. I doubt I'd ever bother seeking out a complete set unless I got them for a song, but it would be good to have several in sequential order and in decent condition.
As I said before in a previous post, I was probably too old (at 13) to be buying this comic, but I always found it hard to resist the lure of a new periodical and was also a big Yogi Bear fan, which was no doubt my main reasons for buying it. The comic only had 14 pages and cost 10 pence, which despite full-colour throughout, was a tad on the expensive side. This was doubtless to cover the cost of the alleged 'free' gift, and makes you wonder where the Trade Descriptions folk are when you need them.
Anyway, that's enough weary waffle from me - enjoy the covers. And if you'd like to read the complete first issue, click here.

Thanks for showing these. I've an interest in how many of the cartoons from H-B made it to other shores, and even though the cartoons don't have a language barrier in Merrie Ole England, I wasn't sure their humor would translate well. I know I used to read a fair number of H-B comics before getting into superheroes, but I can't remember much of anything but some FLINTSTONES issues.
Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound both had their own titles in the UK back in the '60s, though the Yogi periodical was soon merged into Huck's weekly. That's a reversal of what happened in the States, where Yogi's popularity soon eclipsed Huck's, resulting in the bruin being given his own show. I don't think there's been a decade since the '60s where Hanna-Barbera characters haven't appeared in a UK title.
