Heathcliff #28

Heathcliff #28 was published by Star Comics, an imprint of Marvel Comics established in the mid-1980s to capture the younger demographic through licensed properties. This issue continued the adventures of the mischievous orange tabby cat created by George Gately, who originally debuted in a newspaper strip in 1973. The comic series mirrored the lighthearted, slapstick tone of the character's syndicated appearances, focusing on Heathcliff's neighborhood antics and constant battle with local authorities.

The visual identity of this era of Heathcliff comics relied on the established character designs maintained by Gately and his creative team. These adaptations were designed to be accessible and visually consistent with the popular animated television series running concurrently. While the comic was primarily marketed toward children as disposable entertainment, it remains a notable example of mid-80s licensed publishing efforts that bridged the gap between daily newspaper strips and the growing comic book market for younger readers.
