Comic Monthly

Comic Monthly, launched in 1922 by Embee Distributing Co., was a twelve-issue series that captured the lively spirit of early newspaper-style cartooning in a comic book format. Most closely associated with the inventive humor of writer Rube Goldberg and the distinctive, signed artwork of Billy DeBeck, the series offered a snapshot of the era's gag-driven, character-filled strips. Though brief, it stands as a charming artifact of the transition from newspaper funnies to the comic book medium.
