Bazooka Joe and its origins

First lets flash back to the candy store and how we all came to love Bazooka Joe. According to Bazookajoe.com, This classic bubble gum launched in 1947 but didn’t get its retro comic twist until in the mid-1950s. Created by the Topps Company, Bazooka Joe quickly took off thanks to its iconic packaging – think bright red, white and blue – and, of course, the comics inside. But who is Bazooka Joe, you ask? Well, he’s a guy with an eye patch and a pretty snazzy haircut who just can’t seem to catch a break (sorry, Joe!). Whether you were a fan of the gum or just loved the comics, Bazooka Joe and his gang of misfits will always have a special place in pop culture history.
