Atomic Age newspaper strip reprint titles?
« on: October 17, 2019, 02:42:08 AM »

I want to ask especially about the single-character spotlighting newspaper strip-reprinting (with some new material, I believe, which is part of the query) titles, such as LIL' ABNER, DICK TRACY, etc.

Walter, I'm not quite sure what your question was.

There is a section here for comic strips.
https://comicbookplus.com/?cid=6

Dick Tracy and Little Abner and many of the more famous comic characters [Tarzan, The Phantom, Prince Valiant, Flash Gordon for example]  are not PD. Not Public Domain. This means that somebody still owns the copyrights to the characters and CB+ can't host them here.
I hope that answers your question.

...I was asking that about such titles in general, not just what was here. However, thank you for the info.
  I do see that some fairly famous vintage strips' comic book versions - I think both?? Terry and the Pirates and Steve Canyon - are here, even though there's still/recently legit reprints of them. (I presume the versions printed in the comic books are PD while the " real ", original, strip versions are still copyrighted. Yes?)
