[QUOTE=Gaastra;4520253]Conans original book lasted 275 issues not counting spin-off comics and trades![/QUOTE]
Ah right, Conan. I forgot that that he originated in a pulp magazine for some reason. lol

[QUOTE=Electricmastro;4520224]So is it fair to say that G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero was Marvel's most successful licensed comic? It lasted for 155 issues after all.

Star Wars - 107 issues between a few Annuals and the Return of the Jedi mini series (not counting the new Star Wars books)
Micronauts - 81 issues between two series and Annuals

Would the 86-issue run of Terry-Toons Comics count as well, because it featured cartoon characters like Mighty Mouse, Heckle, and Jeckle.

Mighty mouse counts. Marvel did a 80s comic of him also.
Master of kung fu had 101 issues! Yes marvel owns Shang Chi but the book was a based on fu Manchu who marvel no longer has the rights to! (but did get the ok to get the book reprinted)
Alf had 50 issues and one shots
Barbie had 51 issues and a second comic
Heathcliff had 56 issues and a spin off book
Plus the uk transformers comic went for over 100 issues!

Love the "issue 80 in a four issue limited series" at the top of the last issue.
They had a few spin-offs also.

It is odd seeing the Hanna Barbera characters under a Marvel label.
it's like almost one step removed from the Super Friends showing up.
