Publication history
Publication history
Swing with Scooter was published by DC Comics for 36 issues (cover-dated July 1966 - Nov. 1972). The series was an attempt at drawing upon the popularity of young British musicians such as the Beatles, and the teen humor market served by Archie Comics. Scooter was created by writers Barbara Friedlander, a writer of DC romance comics, and Jack Miller and artist Joe Orlando. Henry Scarpelli took over as artist with issue #14, giving the comic a more cartoony, Archie-style look. The entire DC humor line was cancelled between 1971 and 1972, including Leave It to Binky, Date with Debbi and Swing with Scooter.
