This “Funnies” comic book is from the early era of transition to comic books. Comic strips have existed since the late 1880s but comic books started in the 1930s. Of course they began by re-printing the comic strips from newspaper syndicated strips before any new characters and stories were developed. So, this issue #9 carries newspaper strips such as Alley Oop, Captain Easy, Mutt & Jeff. The art on this is so bad it makes my teeth hurt, but such was the birth of comic books!
