Ash Perkins

A child of the Golden Age, Ash Perkins made their debut in Dell's Popular Comics in 1944, brought to life by the creative duo of Zack Mosley and Boody Rogers — two names well worth knowing in mid-century comics. With a run stretching into 1946, Ash shares those lively Dell pages with a colorful cast including Smilin' Jack, Smokey Stover, and Casper Hawkins, the kind of eclectic company that made Popular Comics such a warm and varied anthology experience. Eight appearances may be a modest footprint, but for collectors with a taste for the genuine flavor of wartime-era Dell comics, Ash Perkins is a charming piece of that world worth seeking out.
