The Nintendo Comics System series, published by Valiant Comics, made comic books of many Nintendo characters from different series, including Mario, The Legend of Zelda and Captain N. They featured special little pages like "Ask Princess Toadstool" and fake advertisements, like one for Koopa-Kola. Below is a comprehensive list of Mario-related titles, including the Captain N comics that include Donkey Kong (an occasional antagonist in the series).
