Everyone accepts that the comic book as it came to be known was created in stages – there were collections of strips in newspaper inserts, then stand alone publications, and finally in May 1934 (with a July 1934 cover date) FAMOUS FUNNIES became the first monthly comic book! They began by reprinting newspaper comics, but within a few years the newsstands would be full of original stories from dozens of publishers, and the Golden Age of Comics had begun! FAMOUS FUNNIES sold for over 20 years and over 200 issues, a fitting run for this pioneer of comic books. Gwandanaland Comics is offering the largest print collection of FAMOUS FUNNIES ever assembled, beginning with these early issues which include Mutt & Jeff, Joe Palooka, Dixie Dugan, The Nebbs, Hairbreadth Harry, Jane Arden, Reg'lar Fellas, and much, much more!
