About the series
A long-running newspaper strip classic, The Captain and the Kids was adapted for comic book form by Western Publishing in 1934, running for a single issue. Known for its rowdy, slapstick humor, the series is most associated with creator Rudolph Dirks, who originated the characters in the pioneering comic strip The Katzenjammer Kids. Though brief as a comic book, this entry marks an early attempt to bring a beloved, anarchic newspaper feature into the fledgling comic book medium.
