I ran across an auction for this hilarious and amazing looking, very early all original material comic book from 1933 on Ebay today… more images can be seen there.
Here’s what comics historian Robert Beerbohm says about this book (in an excerpt from his upcoming book Comics Archeology 101 called ORIGIN OF THE MODERN COMIC BOOK 1 1919-1933) here:
With the 1933 newsstand appearance of Humor’s Detective Dan, Adventures of Detective Ace King, Bob Scully, Two Fisted Hick Detective, and possibly the still unrediscovered but definitely advertised Happy Mulligan, these little understood original-material comic books were the direct inspiration for Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster to transform their fanzine’s evil character The Superman from Science Fiction #3 (January 1933) into a comic strip that would stand as a watershed heroic mark in American pop culture. The stage was set for a new frontier.

I’ve never visited The Cartoon Research Library at Ohio State University, but its existence makes me occasionally dream of living in Ohio. A while back they purchased Bill Blackbeard’s San Francisco Academy of Art collection of old newspaper comics, which is most likely the finest in the world. I keep hoping that one of these days they will start digitizing their collection and putting it all online. They have put some fantastic stuff online, though… here is list of most of their online exhibits:
Lyonel Feininger (Man, I love Feininger…)
The Yellow Kid
Tales of the Jungle Imps (Originals hand colored by Winsor McCay!)
Newspaper Cartoon Artists 1898-1909
Hale Scrapbook
Drawn on Stone
Ohio Cartoonists
The Opper Project
Thomas Nast
The Ohio State University Manga Collection
Preserving Cartoon Art
Pictured above: a panel from The Kin-Der Kids by Lyonel Feininger. Click the above image to visit The Cartoon Research Library’s Lyonel Feininger exhibit. Note that you can purchase a completeish book of Lyonel Feininger’s comic strip work for a pittance, which is decisive proof that we do indeed live in a wondrous world… here is a link for that:
