Continuing from yesterday, we complete the run of Smoke Carter in 1939's Speed Comics from Munson Paddock (here signed as Joe E. Martin). As noted previously, there were only six episodes, usually six pages each. The final episode only has five pages, so perhaps they knew it was on the way out.
I still like the 'smokey' style Munson used which first drew me to the strip. It's even inspired me a bit while prepping the pages. (Whether that'll go anywhere remains to be seen). So let's race along with Smoke and the fire company to face Crime With A Crawl...
"A Brand New Adventure Feature..."
I guess they did know it was the last strip.
