Rip Kirby

The 1990s revival of Rip Kirby brought the classic newspaper strip detective to the pages of Comic Art Publications, a boutique publisher known for its archival-quality reprints. Spanning 17 issues from 1992 to 1997, the series collected the sophisticated, globe-trotting adventures of the intellectual private eye, originally created by the legendary Alex Raymond. Featuring Raymond's elegant, cinematic artwork and the sharp writing of Ward Greene, this series preserved a pivotal piece of mid-century comic strip history for a new generation. It remains an essential collection for fans of classic adventure strips and Raymond's masterful draftsmanship.
