Sunday Comic Section — The Sun (New York)

This page from The Sun's Sunday comic section features multiple strips and theatrical advertisements arranged in the layout typical of early-twentieth-century newspaper comics. The section combines sequential panels with portrait photographs and advertisements, reflecting how newspapers integrated entertainment content across different media. By 1917, the Sunday comics had become a standard feature driving newspaper circulation, with artists developing the visual conventions—speech balloons, panel borders, recurring characters—that would define the medium for decades. These pages represent the direct ancestors of the modern comic book, born from the daily and Sunday newspaper strips that reached millions of readers.
