But - Fear Not! Comics pulled from non-English books are wordless, and one is even kind enough to have an English language title. Probably not just to make it easy for me, but that's what we'll be pretending here.
We begin in England with the first comic from the first issue of The Beano, published 80 years ago in 1938 and the artist seems lost to time, at least on this side of the Atlantic -
From Poland, we have bits by Marek Raczkowski from Komiks 97...
...and January Misiak from Komiks 99 -
And, from India, a few comics from the back of Bruce Lee's Escapade In Kalahari courtesy of Shehab and Prakash -
We'll be back at midday with a couple short comic adventures for a 1958 Super Matinee.
You have no idea how hard i'm working to resist the soon-to-be-obvious pun.
The Beano #1, Komiks 97, Komiks 99, and Indrahal Comics v.21#31 (1938, 1997, 1998, 1984)
Actually, The Beano strip is from Britain, specifically Scotland, as D.C. Thomson is a Dundee-based company (though it does have offices in England as well). Why do so many Americans think England and Britain are synonymous? That's like British people thinking that Texas is America on all its lonesome. Tsk, tsk, 3 -take 3 demerits.
ReplyDeleteI take the demerits. We both know i know better, and i even knew The Beano came from the North.
ReplyDeleteI could try to make the claim it was comment bait, but i suspect we both know better there, too.
