*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: From the Bute Collection. 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 and is featured here leading all six issues. Also noteworthy is Invisible Scarlet O’Neill (the first Invisible Girl?), one of the first (plainclothes) super-heroines in rather charming and well-crafted adventures. She too is featured in all these issues. At this time, the publishers chose to cover feature gags from the comedy strips, but at least Buck and Scarlet are shown on the cover to #144. Pretty decent lower to mid-grade copies.
