Even markers, and paints was better then what we have now. It is not too amazing, since the entire series leaves on a cliff hanger.

I liked what little I got to read of them, though, and kind of like them better than Valiant's actual Super Mario Bros. comics. I never got to own the Game Boy comics, but I wanted to.

That "What a great bunch of guys" panel in particular is genuinely trippy. I had some of those Valiant Nintendo comics; one of them had an ad for Game Boy #1 in them, and I always wondered what that comic would be like. The writers who came up with concepts for licensed properties like this are real unsung heroes. "Write a legitimately interesting story for children using these predetermined elements, and make sure it sells the product." It's an interesting writing exercise, if nothing else.
