In the UK there were two distinct MLP comics running during the G1 years.  
+
The UK had an extensive run of G1 MLP comic books, featuring stories, puzzles, [[My Little Pony Activity Club|Activity Club]] pages, special contests, and more.  Two separate comic books, ''My Little Pony'' and ''My Little Pony and Friends'', ran at the same time. ''My Little Pony and Friends'' included comics about the [[Moon Dreamers|Moondreamers]], Potato Head Kids, [[Fairy_Tails|Fairy Tail Birds]], and [[Glo Friends|GLO Friends]] in addition to stories about the ponies.
  
"My Litte Pony" started in 1985 and ran fortnightly, with extra issues bringing it up to a weekly publication during the summer months. The first issue was sold during the summer of 1985. 
+
==History==
  
"My Little Pony and Friends" started in 1987 and was published bi-monthly. It cost around double the price but also had a larger page count.
+
The first comic, called simply ''My Little Pony'' (1985 - 1993) had a run of 223 issues.  A second comic book, ''My Little Pony and Friends'' (1987 - 1994) had 51 issues.
  
There were also Seasonal Specials every three months.
+
The comics were usually produced fortnightly (every two weeks), though sometimes they switched to a weekly schedule. The two comic runs shared a common continuity, with the events of one series often being referred to in the second series.  ''My Little Pony and Friends'' outlasted ''My Little Pony'' by about six months.
  
Both comics ran comic strips and short stories featuring the ponies and assorted new characters, (largely of a fairytale nature such as mermaids and fairies), puzzles and advertisments, and for the duration of the [[My Little Pony Activity Club|Activity Club]] there was a special page for club members featuring coded messages only club members had the means to decipher. The major difference between the two comics was that "My Little Pony and Friends" also featured other Hasbro toy lines in their own comic strips, such as Gloworms, Potato Head Kids, Fairy Tail Birds and Moondreamers, it also lasted long enough to feature the seven ponies from the [[My Little Pony Tales]] TV series.
+
London Editions Limited, later renamed Fleetway Editions Limited, published both comic books. Judith Laverty was the editor of ''My Little Pony'' from at least 1988<ref name="letter">J. Laverty, personal communication, November 5, 1988.</ref> until 1993 when the comic was discontinued. Martin Gray was the editor of ''My Little Pony and Friends'', while Samantha Scattergood was in charge of Advertising for it.

All art came from the Spanish company [http://www.bailsprojects.com/(S(g00f4den4e1d0z550je5w3zm))/bio.aspx?Name=SELECCIONES+ILUSTRADAS Selecciones Ilustradas], usually sent via fax<ref name="TooDangerousBlog">Gray, Martin. "Too Dangerous For A Girl." [http://dangermart.blogspot.com/2013/01/superman-family-adventures-9-review.html#comment-form Superman Family Adventures #9 review]. February 2, 2013</ref>.  Writers included Hilda Young<ref name="TooDangerousBlog" /> and Mike Wild.<ref name="letter" />  Martin Gray also contributed some scripts, including a story featuring the Smooze in ''My Little Pony and Friends #30''.<ref name="TooDangerousBlog" />
 +
 +
Hasbro UK was heavily involved in quality control of the comic books, "requiring approval of plots, scripts, layouts and finished art."<ref name="TooDangerousBlog" />
 +
 +
Other European countries, such as a Germany, Finland, and Holland, also had comic books. The stories and illustrations were generally the same as in the UK comics, translated into the appropriate language. (These comic books were not necessarily released in the same order as the UK comics, however.) Italy had a unique comic book with original stories and illustrations rather than reused London Editions stories.  The United States and other non-European countries did not have any comic books at all.
 +
 +
==Comic Continuity==
 +
 +
Although they featured many of the same pony characters as the [[G1_TV_and_Movies|television shows]], the comic books were clearly set in their own continuity.
 +
 +
Some of the differences from the cartoons:
 +
 +
* Almost every pony had magic, not just unicorns.
 +
* Unicorns did not have the ability to wink (teleport).
 +
* Majesty, never seen in animated form, was in almost every comic.
 +
* The ponies never moved into Paradise Estate, they just used it as a vacation home.
 +
* Many of the pony personalities were different.  Wind Whistler was rather silly, Shady was more confident, etc.
 +
* Larger cast of ponies and a recurring cast of non-pony characters.
 +
 +
 +
The comic book universe shares many similarities with the G1 backcards. Most ponies have whatever character traits and magical abilities they had in their backcard story.  (Medley can make the sound of a harp by waving her tail, for example, and Cotton Candy has a sweet tooth for flowers that gets her into trouble.)  The comics fit in the same continuity as the UK children's books published by World International Publishing Limited, such as ''[[The Stolen Shadow]]'', ''[[The Cross Weather Witch]]'', and ''[[The Man in the Moon]]''.
 +
 +
Almost all [[Year_Two_(1983-1984)|Year 2]] and [[Year_Three_(1984-1985)|Year 3]] ponies appeared in the comics, even ponies who were never sold in the UK.  By [[Year Four (1985-1986)|Year 4]] most of the newly introduced ponies were ones available in local shops.
 +
 +
Both magazines eventually switched from the dragons-and-castles fantasy world of early G1 to the more modern world of [[My Little Pony Tales]].
 +
 +
==Non-Pony Characters==
 +
 +
The comics featured many allies and enemies of the little ponies.  [[Megan]] was a friend of the ponies, although Molly and Danny were never seen.  Other friends included [[Rob Rabbit]], the woodland crier; [[Junk-It]], a being made of assorted junk;  hapless [[Magician Muddle]]; and many others.  Likewise there were recurring villains, like [[Wizard Wantall]] and [[Get-It]],

Latest revision as of 15:11, 10 October 2024

The UK had an extensive run of G1 MLP comic books, featuring stories, puzzles, Activity Club pages, special contests, and more. Two separate comic books, My Little Pony and My Little Pony and Friends, ran at the same time. My Little Pony and Friends included comics about the Moondreamers, Potato Head Kids, Fairy Tail Birds, and GLO Friends in addition to stories about the ponies.

History

The first comic, called simply My Little Pony (1985 - 1993) had a run of 223 issues. A second comic book, My Little Pony and Friends (1987 - 1994) had 51 issues.

The comics were usually produced fortnightly (every two weeks), though sometimes they switched to a weekly schedule. The two comic runs shared a common continuity, with the events of one series often being referred to in the second series. My Little Pony and Friends outlasted My Little Pony by about six months.

London Editions Limited, later renamed Fleetway Editions Limited, published both comic books. Judith Laverty was the editor of My Little Pony from at least 1988[1] until 1993 when the comic was discontinued. Martin Gray was the editor of My Little Pony and Friends, while Samantha Scattergood was in charge of Advertising for it.

All art came from the Spanish company Selecciones Ilustradas, usually sent via fax[2]. Writers included Hilda Young[2] and Mike Wild.[1] Martin Gray also contributed some scripts, including a story featuring the Smooze in My Little Pony and Friends #30.[2]

Hasbro UK was heavily involved in quality control of the comic books, "requiring approval of plots, scripts, layouts and finished art."[2]

Other European countries, such as a Germany, Finland, and Holland, also had comic books. The stories and illustrations were generally the same as in the UK comics, translated into the appropriate language. (These comic books were not necessarily released in the same order as the UK comics, however.) Italy had a unique comic book with original stories and illustrations rather than reused London Editions stories. The United States and other non-European countries did not have any comic books at all.

Comic Continuity

Although they featured many of the same pony characters as the television shows, the comic books were clearly set in their own continuity.

Some of the differences from the cartoons:

  • Almost every pony had magic, not just unicorns.
  • Unicorns did not have the ability to wink (teleport).
  • Majesty, never seen in animated form, was in almost every comic.
  • The ponies never moved into Paradise Estate, they just used it as a vacation home.
  • Many of the pony personalities were different. Wind Whistler was rather silly, Shady was more confident, etc.
  • Larger cast of ponies and a recurring cast of non-pony characters.


The comic book universe shares many similarities with the G1 backcards. Most ponies have whatever character traits and magical abilities they had in their backcard story. (Medley can make the sound of a harp by waving her tail, for example, and Cotton Candy has a sweet tooth for flowers that gets her into trouble.) The comics fit in the same continuity as the UK children's books published by World International Publishing Limited, such as The Stolen Shadow, The Cross Weather Witch, and The Man in the Moon.

Almost all Year 2 and Year 3 ponies appeared in the comics, even ponies who were never sold in the UK. By Year 4 most of the newly introduced ponies were ones available in local shops.

Both magazines eventually switched from the dragons-and-castles fantasy world of early G1 to the more modern world of My Little Pony Tales.

Non-Pony Characters

The comics featured many allies and enemies of the little ponies. Megan was a friend of the ponies, although Molly and Danny were never seen. Other friends included Rob Rabbit, the woodland crier; Junk-It, a being made of assorted junk; hapless Magician Muddle; and many others. Likewise there were recurring villains, like Wizard Wantall and Get-It,

Some of the non-pony characters are listed here.
