Rip Kirby

IDW's 2009–2011 reprint series collects Alex Raymond's classic newspaper strip Rip Kirby, a sophisticated detective adventure that ran for decades. While Raymond originated the strip and set its elegant, cinematic visual tone, the series also features the work of later hands like writer Ward Greene and artist John Prentice, who sustained the title after Raymond's death. This collection preserves a key piece of mid-century newspaper comics history, showcasing a more mature, dialogue-driven crime strip from the creator of Flash Gordon.
