Action Heroes

Thursday Story Strip Day.

These days I almost have more realistic strip from the forties to share than anything else. But only because I have such nice long runs of everything. Here are several years of True comics. The stories were always short and often drawn by guest artists. Main artist seems to have been Sam Glankoff, who is rep[resented here the most (even if he doesn;t sign). But I see other hands as well. I just can't recognize any of the, I think these stories were recut for use in the comic book version. Maybe one day I should do a search on the Grand Comicbook Database.

I am ending with a selection of black and white pages from an online source, which I have left uncut.

True Propaganda Stories

Thursday Story Strip Day.

I don't know what the relationship between the True Comics comic book and the newspaper version was. I know the comic books I have seen, were less focussed on the war than these Sundays. In 1945 Joe Simon is supposed to have done some of these. I have seen none of those but get the impression they were all reprinted in a True comic book special.

I see I have done some of these before, but at least some are new. Then again, in the previous post there are also more color samples...
