The Katzenjammer Kids

The Katzenjammer Kids ran for 11 issues from 1947 to 1949 under David McKay, bringing the classic, anarchic newspaper strip into the comic book format. This series captured the timeless mischief of Hans and Fritz as they tormented the Captain, the Inspector, and Mama, preserving the rowdy spirit that had made them comic-strip icons for decades. Though short-lived, it stands as a key example of how beloved daily features were adapted for the burgeoning comic book market of the late 1940s.
