About the series
A welcome collection from NBM, this 18-issue series reprints the classic newspaper adventure strips of Roy Crane, spanning his celebrated work on Wash Tubbs and Captain Easy from the 1920s through the 1940s. Crane’s dynamic, cartoonish linework and globe-trotting tales of the bumbling Wash Tubbs and the square-jawed Captain Easy helped define the adventure comic strip, blending humor with genuine thrills. The series stands as an essential archive of one of the medium’s most influential early storytellers.
