Four Color Comics

I’ve been pining for a Captain Carrot compilation from DC for years. With the advent of the DC Showcase line of books, I have hopes that the series I remember fondly from my junior high school years will finally get its due. In the meanwhile, there’s other Captain Carrot news to keep me content. According to this Newsarama thread:

As announced at New York Comic Con, DC’s best known superpowered rabbit will return this year in Captain Carrot and the Final Arc, a three-issue limited series written by Bill Morrison.

Artist Scott Shaw! will return to the characters he helped create with Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway in 1982, when the character first appeared in Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew, a free 16-page insert in DC’S New Teen Titans #16. Captain Carrot’s Crew then debuted in their own title a month after that insert, featuring characters like a speedster turtle named Fastback, the metallic-skinned Pig Iron, a dog with patriotic powers named Yankee Poodle, and martial arts expert Alley-Kat-Abra — all fighting beside Captain Carrot with his powerful cosmic carrots.

Captain Carrot was good, goofy fun, and a perfect compliment to the comics my friends and I were drawing for each other at the time. (I had several titles, including BUG, The Legion of Bugs, the Hare Force, and a group of non-ninja turtles back before I was aware of ninja turtles.)

I welcome any Captain Carrot-related publications.
