British Comics Update: 3 issues of the Dandy from 1938, inc. #9
*Humour Comics: 3 Dandy issues of a true vintage this week. The Dandy commenced right at the end of 1937, so these three issues from 1938 are from the first full year of its publication. Famous for its comedy picture strips, the comic was split in those days between these (often several per page) and text and picture adventure stories. Korky the Cat was on the cover, of course, and the ever present Desperate Dan within. Alongside them were Keyhole Kate, Jimmy & His Grockle, Our Gang, Invisible Dick and many more features crammed into 28 packed pages.
