INVISIBLE SCARLETT O'NEIL DICKIE DARE NAPOLEON BIG CHIEF WAHOO SCORCHY SMITH ------- AND MUCH MORE! Although newspaper Sunday strips had been compiled before, for promotion purposes, Famous Funnies in 1936 became the first book of comic strips put together for sale to the public - at the significant price of 10-cents! Thus began the monthly mission of encouraging kids (and adults) to plop down a dime for their addiction. Famous Funnies began by reprinting the Sunday Comics sections, but soon graduated to original stories and original characters. The comic ran for almost 20 years and 218 issues, securing its place in American comic history and the first and one of the longest-running of the Golden Age. NOTE: THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATERIAL THAT IS NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT, AND MAY OFFEND MODERN SENSIBILITIES. The comic reprints from Calumet History and Hobby are reproduced from actual classic comics, and sometimes reflect the imperfection of books that are decades old. These books are constantly updated with the best version possible - if you are EVER unhappy with the experience or quality of a book, return the book to us to exchange for another title or the upgrade as new files become available. Due to copyright and trademark protection, the full issues of Famous Funnies is not available.
