Make Room For Danny

Saturday Leftover Day.

 I have a pretty big collection of Dan Heilman's pre Judge Parker strip The American Adventure. Even more in a Caniff style than Parker, it retold stories about the lives of famous Americans. And it did so quite well, although it was better if you had the dailies as well. So, for some time I gathered dailies and added thm to whatever I had as Sundays. Sadly, I have not been able to do that this year, so these Sundays of Fulton's Follies has been waiting to be used. So I say: no longer. The are too wonderful to ignore. I hope that one day I (or someone else) will be able to do a complete book of them. 

By the way, I sold most of these tearsheets on Ebay, where you can find more of the strips I have been showing here the last ten years. If you visit and buy something, you will greatly help me - not to some money (I am starting them low and usually selling at starting price) but mostly, creating some room in my overcrowded office.

God Bless Adventure

Some years ago, I shared a long run of microfiche dailies and color Sundays of Dan Heilman's The American Adventure, a historical strip written by Bradford Smith and drawn by Heilman in the Milt Caniff style. I had three more stories in color Sunday form, but had stopped collecting the dailies (which continued the storyline). Recently I picked it up again and I am very proud to be able to present the first of the last three stories of this remarkable series. The microfiche dailies are from two different papers, one too light and one too dark - and both not complete online. I have added them again to help read the story. The story started and ended on a Tuesday. I tried to correct the one for 12-19, which took me about two hours and then I discovered I had even forgotten a piec in the right hand corner.
