More From the OWL Vault
Hey all. Here’s a one-question mailbag with a historical theme for a Thursday afternoon. Enjoy!
Q: What comics did OWL start with? Was it completely different ones?
— Sinead
CB: Yes. The first comic OWL ever published was called “The Mighty Mites.”
At first, it was about three kids who could shrink down in order to get a new, totally cool perspective on things — such as insects. Here’s a panel from an early, black-and-white “Mites” comic:
“The Mighty Mites” lasted in OWL for over 25 years. By the end of its run, the comic was called “The M-Team” — it featured three different kids who used special powers to fight environmental crimes. The final comic ran in Summer 2002.
This has been a stroll down OWL-memory lane. Hope you liked it!

Criag how long has Max Finder been running?

Ooo, coolio. I like that.

They just got a dump of snow near Lake Huron, but we still might not go. Sinead, I still might be doing the same as you; hanging out with friends and chilling at home.
Cool! I`d like to read one or two comics of that! Cooliolio! Man,coolio (say cool-EE-oh) is a popular made-up word! Awesomes!
i liked that comic
I remember we had a contest where someone got to finish one of those in an issue a little while ago… can’t remember when though. Max Finder is awesome though, but I personally like the Sidesteppers the most.
Awesome memory, Ashtyn! They were actually panels from the very same “Mites” comic, and we asked readers to write the ending. We got some great responses!
Ashtyn, Sidesteppers is my favourite too.
*gasps* Max Finder is totally the best! Sidesteppers was good, but Max is always awesomer!
I find Max Finder equal to Sidesteppers. I just know Sidesteppers more.
i agree sinead max is the best but so is alex and charlie
Max Finder is the best ! i love sloving the mystries
My brain is exploding with can’t deciding-ness!
