Following standard practice of the time, Magilla began starring in a Gold Key comic book shortly after his TV show began. The first issue was dated May, 1964. In #3, he ran against Yogi Bear for president, putting him in company with such other toon candidates for the Oval Office as Betty Boop and Andy Gump. The comic book lasted ten issues, the last of which was dated December, 1968. A later series from Charlton was even more short-lived — five issues, November, 1970 through July, 1971.

Hanna-Barbera's next comic book licensor was Marvel, which gave him only one issue, dated March, 1979. Magilla hasn't been seen very often in the past couple of decades — just a syndicated rerun here and there. But the character is still popular among fans of vintage Hanna-Barbera animation. Considering how many toon outlets there are on cable TV nowadays, he's not likely to remain unseen forever. Magilla Gorilla holds a special distinction for two reasons: First, Magilla, along with Peter Potamus, was one of the few cartoons to begin its run in syndication and then move to network. Secondly, the show was one of the first to be created in conjunction with a toy company in order to market character toys immediately. Magilla Gorilla (Picture 3).
