American Comics Update: Six Of The Oldest: Famous Funnies 1937-38
*Misceallaneous 1940-1959: It’s very uncommon for us to get American comics dating from before 1940 through our hands, which is why we use the start date of 1940 for this category, so I’ll hope you’ll forgive us for including these six issues from 1937-38 here. Famous Funnies from Eastern Color started in 1934 and was America’s first monthly newsstand comic book. It featured reprints of Sunday colour newspaper strips, in an eclectic mix of humour and adventure. Most of these strips are unknown or long forgotten in the UK, although famously, this is where Buck Rogers got his first start in comics. Also, the War On Crime strip is the first true crime feature in comics. Six issues added this week from its early years, all in lower but reasonably decent condition.
