COVER DETAILS
Pencils: Joe Archibald
Inks: Joe Archibald
Notes: This can be considered the very first newsstand comic book, put out by Dell Publishing nearly a decade before it hooked up with Western Publishing. It consisted of all-new, all original material in tabloid form, and it resembled a 16-page, 10.5" x 15.5" color Sunday newspaper comics section more than a modern comic book, though it was sold on newsstands for 36 weekly issues, until October 16, 1930. With #3, the cover price rose to 10 cents to 30 cents, then dropped to 5 cents until the end.
