Great Ketcham’s Ghost! Meet Tom, Dick and Harriet 1970’s Teen Comics

Check out this fun, breezy teen comic from 1976: “Tom, Dick and Harriet” from the very first issue of Gold Key Spotlight.
Written by Mark Evanier and drawn by Lee Holley -- one of the great “ghost” artists from Hank Ketcham’s Dennis the Menace studio.

According to Evanier’s website,

“Lee Holley is a terrific cartoonist who worked for Hank Ketcham and Chuck Jones, and later drew a successful newspaper strip called Ponytail.  Everyone felt he drew the cutest girls you could imagine, so Gold Key asked me to create a "teen" comic he could illustrate.  They came up with the name of the comic (which I didn't like) but it was otherwise all "mine" (and Lee's) for the first two of its three appearances in this Showcase-type comic.  I was told the first issue sold well and for about a month there, they were ready to launch it as a regular title, complete with spin-offs and such.  I still don't know what happened, since I left the company before that could occur...”
