American Update: Early 1960’s Dells
*Dell: One of the more diverse and esoteric publishers, Dell ran from the 1930’s to the 1970’s producing thousands of comics, most of which, hard though it is to imagine these days, had nothing to do with the panties & capes superhero crowd. Many were media adaptations, of movie cartoons, films, tv shows, or occasionally even newspaper strips, but a lot of them were original, and frankly, somewhat bizarre. We have around 30 new Dell listings this update, with a wide range of titles; Brain Boy (Gil Kane art, and the first appearance of one of Dell’s few super-beings), the Detectives, Dr. Kildare, Dracula, 87th Precinct, King of Diamonds, Lion of Sparta, the Lost World, On Stage (if not Leonard Starr, then a very creditable imitation), Peter Gunn, Ripcord, Tom & Jerry, Troubleshooters, Tubby (from ‘Little Lulu’), and Walt Disney Presents.
