1930s comic strips

[jake_fink]

I don't know if this will interest anyone here, but there is a new book out about adventure comic strips in the 1930s. It's pretty nice with most of the illustrations reproduced from original art, so they look sharp and sweet.

Check it out here:

And for those who are into this stuff, and if you don't already know it, Big Fun lives up to its title, especially the classic Scorchy Smith it reproduces. It can be previewed here:

Jake,
You just added to my Christmas list...for myself that is! I love the comics from that era. I have a nice collection of Dick Tracy from the thirties in hardcover thats real great too. I'll check out the Big Fun also. Thanks for the tip!:cheers1:

What a great site! I've been looking for a collection of the original Phantom strips for sometime. The prices are really reasonable, too.

Thanks for an awesome heads up, Jake!

Can't forget Action Comics...late 30's.

Now you've made me wonder what happens to Scorchy and the guys' planes... And I like that nickname... "Fat." Good stuff. Plain, simple and a funny aside with the guys.

Scorchy makes friends with a wombat, the planes get married and Fat sheds a few pounds so the lads start calling him Scrawny.



In fact, much adventure ensues.
