| any plans to post more of this title?? i would really like to see all of the early doctor occult features. |
|
| Great issue and pages are easy to read, I just want to know if there is a scan that has the Buckskin Jim page, since there are two of Captain Erik. |
|
| Great to see strips collected together like this – similar to a sixties British comic. I would have bought this. My favourites were: Sandra of the Secret Service by Charles ‘Lone Ranger’ Flanders and Super-Police with its terrific panel groups from Clem ‘Gretta’ Gretter – who also did Don Drake, DC’s first sci-fi hero. |
|
| The After School feature on page 30 was also by the same Tom McNamara who co-directed the earliest Our Gang/Little Rascals shorts in the early 1920s, a series which was still going on regularly by the time McNamara drew this feature. |
|
| Thank you so much to whomever added this. Much appreciated. Sandra of the Secret Service was most likely created by the Major. Charles Flanders was not known as a writer nor as a creator of characters especially not a character like Sandra. Sandra is very similar to the heroines MWN created in his pulp adventure stories and MWN's mother Antoinette Wheeler-Nicholson was a suffragette. It is also worth noting that for New Fun #1 Sandra appears as the very first comic in the magazine--fairly prime real estate. |
