Adventures of Tom
Our friend Mark Kausler requested to see the covers for "the Adventures of Tom". The Tom Cat comics were reprints of the Our Gang/Tom and Jerry stories that focused on Tom without Jerry in the story. These were Australian reprints.
Thanks much for these! No. 6 cover uses a Harvey Eisenberg Tom from an Out Gang cover, just replaces Jerry and Tuffy with a couple of Squirrels. This is fascinating material. I wonder if any home-grown Aussie material got in to "The Adventures of Tom"?
Mark, I just noticed that but you’re so right! I only own a few and they are labeled “The Adventures of Tom”. All of those have a very Eisenberg like design. When renamed “Tom and his adventures), it has a very different design.
