Tales From The Quarter Bin--NKOTB!!

You know, a lot of people give 1990s comic books a bad rap. But really, how true can that be, when those 1990s gave us this:

Oh, yeah.

Now, this wasn't a a mere one-shot. Oh, no, this was an ongoing series (that lasted only 8 issues, sadly)!!

But Harvey Comics wasn't content with only 1 series...oh, no. They hitched their wagons to the New Kids bandwagon pretty tightly, as they also published:

Yes, the series was called New Kids On The Block: Chillin'. Really and truly. (That one only lasted 7 issues).

We also had...

...New Kids On The Block: Backstage Pass (7 issues)...

...New Kids On The Block: Comic Tour '90 (which, of course, soon changed it's title to NKOTB: Comic Tour '91...that lasted 7 issues).

They were also many one shots, such as NKOTB: Magic Summer Tour, NKOTB: Step By Step, NKOTB: Hangin' Tough, and, of course...

New Kids On The Block: Valentine Girl!!

But Harvey wasn't done selling their souls yet. It wasn't enough to publish 4 separate ongoing series, all filled with awesomely bad art and bursting with NKOTB pin-ups.

No, Harvey also had to tie into their own long-running legacy, with:

Oh, yes, Richie Rich And The New Kids On The Block was real, and ran for 3 glorious issues. And...

...oh, sweet lord, Wendi The Good Little Witch And The New Kids On The Block, wherein Wendi gets a sultry, sassy new makeover and hangs with the band for 3 issues.

Sadly, there was no Hot Stuff/NKOTB crossover. However, Harvey did invite eternal damnation with this one-shot:

Yes, the New Kids On The Block Hi-C Special!!!

So, again, how can , with "Harvey Rockcomics" tearing it up like this, how can anyone say 1990s comics sucked? With stuff like this:

See what I mean?
