Nintendo Comic is an unreleased comic series by Fleetway Publications, known for creating the Sonic The Comic series of comic books.
History[edit]
Some time in the mid-1990s, Nintendo, seeing the success of Sonic the Comic, approached the company with an offer to make a similar title based on Nintendo characters. To this end, artist Richard Elson and writer Nigel Kitching produced a mock-up, featuring a cover and a short story of Mario characters. Their pitch shows Mario and Luigi arriving in the Mushroom Kingdom, fighting Koopalings and Boos, coming to face with a monstrous Donkey Kong Jr., and finally escaping in a Warp Pipe.
After taking several years to make a decision, Nintendo ultimately passed up on the idea.[1] Reflecting on the comic, an unnamed source explained that Nintendo was more "regulated" and "hands-on" than Sega and awaiting approval for a regular publication, such as a comic, would have been a "nightmare."[1]
While Nintendo Comic ended up being rejected, Fleetway ended up producing a different comic for Nintendo, the Donkey Kong Jungle Action Special.
