American Comics Update: Strange Bedfellows: Dizzy Don & Jumbo Comics
*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: Two comics here with absolutely nothing in common except that they belong in this category. Dizzy Don from 1946 is a Canadian original and, despite being numbered #21 is the first issue. The titular character is an amateur radio detective and his stories (including the adventures of his cousin Silly Soozie) are full of crime, comedy and even science fiction. The more familiar Jumbo Comics from Fiction House (#151 1951) stars jungle queen Sheena, Hawk the pirate, Ghost Gallery and more beneath a vibrant Maurice Whitman cover.
