Herbie Volume 1 reprints Herbie's Appearances from American Comics Group's Forbidden World Series and the first 7 issues of his own title, Herbie (1964). Herbie is an atypical hero - a short, obese, unemotional, terse, unstylish boy. Deriving some of his powers from genetics and some from magical lollipops he obtains from a salesman (from a mysterious realm called "the Unknown"), Herbie can carry on detailed conversations with animals and sometimes even inanimate objects (who all know him by name), quickly reach any location (including other galaxies) by walking through the sky, become invisible, cast spells, summon spirits from other dimensions, quickly dispatch all enemies with ease, and travel through time. Despite his appearance and terse personality, he is irresistible to women. Herbie is nearly omnipotent and more powerful than Satan. Featuring the Artistic Talents of Richard Hughes and Ogden Whitney, Herbie won the Alley Awards - Best Humorous Comic Book (1964) and Alley Awards - Best Humor Comic Book (1965). Softcover Premium Color Edition.
