About the series
A short-lived but historically significant title from Dell, The Comics ran for 11 issues between 1937 and 1938, serving as a grab-bag reprint vehicle for popular newspaper strips of the era. The series is most associated with the work of Paul Jepsen, John Hix, and Roy Crane, whose adventure and humor features filled its pages. Notably, it also included original material, such as early comic book adventures of the folk hero Pecos Bill. While brief, the series offers a snapshot of the transition from newspaper strips to original comic book content in the late Golden Age.
