| Printed in Canada but published in Chicago. Indicia states "published bi-monthly by Say-Bart Publications", but only one issue was ever published. Lots of great good-girl Al Feldstein art! see more details at: http://www.comics.org/details.lasso?id=250324 |
|
| Does the main character in that first story have a CHARLIE BROWN sweater on, in 1947? |
|
|
|
| Feldstein did the cover for sure, but most of the interior looks like it was pencilled (at least) by Sam Singer. The sloping, sloppy compositions are his style. Feldstein's work was stiffer and more formal. |
