Let's continue looking at some old Jack Kirby comics. So old, in fact, that he wasn't Jack Kirby yet. At this point, he was signing Lance Kirby for the Lightnin' And The Lone Rider newspaper strip. In 1939 & 1940, Kirby's sunday comics were reprinted in Famous Funnies, starting with issue #62. They seemed pretty excited to get the strip, because in issue #61 not only did they run this full page ad on the inside front cover...
...they also ran four more ads scattered through the book:
The strip with Kirby's art ran from #s 62-65 and 72-76 with 2 pages in each, excepting 72 which had only one. Here's the complete run of Lightnin' And The Lone Rider from Famous Funnies. I'm missing issue 75, so those strips have been replaced by black & white inks that were reprinted in the Compete Jack Kirby #2.
