Scooby-Doo #8 — GD+ (2.5)
Gold Key Comics, October 1971
Bronze Age · Cartoon / Mystery · 15¢ cover price
Scooby-Doo #8 features the book-length mystery “Night for a Fright!”, a classic early Bronze Age Scooby adventure produced during the height of Gold Key’s Hanna-Barbera licensing run. Published in October 1971, this issue captures the simple, spooky-fun tone that made Scooby-Doo a staple of early ’70s pop culture, with a full-length story format rather than short backups.
Gold Key Scooby-Doo issues from this period remain highly collectible, appealing to both comic collectors and fans of vintage animation, particularly as many copies saw heavy childhood reading and were rarely preserved with care. This issue is a solid representative example from the early run, offering strong nostalgia and shelf presence.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes:
GD+ (2.5). Condition consistent with the grade, showing noticeable handling and general wear typical of early 1970s Gold Key comics. Structurally complete with presentable overall appearance for its age.
