Perhaps it could be a useful start.

My mother told me about some magazine-shaped comic books she read as a child in the early 1960's. She says they seemed old when she found them, so they were probably printed well before 1960. The main characters are an orphan boy and a single Catholic man who adopts him and enrolls him in a Catholic school. The boy's placement test score puts him a year behind the other boys his age, which angers the boy. The boy and his adoptive father both have black hair with blue highlights. In the middle of each comic book is a history lesson. Does anyone else remember this comic book series?
