The New Humorist

The New Humorist, a single-issue comic from C. K. Publishing in 1941, stands as a curious artifact of its era—a brief, self-contained burst of wartime humor from a publisher with little other comics output. Primarily associated with its creators and the small press landscape of the early 1940s, this issue offers a snapshot of the comedic sensibilities and printing constraints of the period. While its run was tragically short, it matters as a testament to the many fleeting, independent voices that helped define the Golden Age of comics.
