Title card for 'Video Comic Books'.

Status: Partially Lost

Video Comic Books is a segment on the 1977 show Pinwheel. It was broadcasted on the Pinwheel block in 1979 as a segment, along with PopClips and Hocus Focus, and was later renamed Video Comicz in 1980. The segment focused on reading comic books, featuring the voices of Diane Disque, William Hamilton, and Charles Pickard. It only read comics published by DC Comics (since, at the time, Nickelodeon and DC Comics were both owned by Warner Communications), and it aired around the times of 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM, 7:00 PM, and 9:00 PM on weekdays, and 2:00 PM, 3:30 PM, and 5:00 PM on weekends.

Not much is really known about the segment, and the only evidence of its existence is one clip from a reading of "Swamp Thing" and a promo.
