Swing with Scooter
Swing with Scooter was a DC Comics comicbook published from June–July 1966 to October–November 1972.[1]
The protagonist, Scooter, was a British teenage musician. His nickname came from the scooter that he used as a vehicle. The book was an attempt at drawing upon the popularity of young British musicians such as the Beatles, and the teenage light drama market served by Archie Comics and similar titles. Scooter was created by writers Barbara Friedlander and Jack Miller and artist Joe Orlando.[2]
