| A BIG thank-you to DocDC and SuperScan for sharing this very rare book with everyone!! |
|
|
|
| The title for all of these should be NEW FUN. It was not NEW FUN COMICS. Issues 7 & 8 were called MORE FUN and it became MORE FUN COMICS starting with issue 9. |
|
|
|
| So cool to have this! The two pages missing are the inside front and inside back covers. Does anyone know if they were blank or just not scanned? |
|
| Sandra of the Secret Service seems a strong concept and ahead of its time - I liked where it was headed.
Enjoyed the 'see how easy' joke on the joke page |
|
| According to the Grand Comics Database, the inside front and back covers were ads. |

| Notes | We previously credited this story to Lyman Anderson. Via the GCD Error Tracker, Daniel Morales argued that the artwork is by Tom Cooper (who is credited with the following installments) based in large part on the shape of the face of the lead character. Bob Hughes agrees that the lettering on this story is certainly not by the same hand as the lettering of the story in #v1#1 (presumably Anderson). Nicky Wheeler Nicholson suggests this installment may have been begun by Anderson and completed by Cooper. |
