New Fun #3

From April 1935 comes this early chapter in American comics history — New Fun #3, "The Big Comic Magazine" from DC, proudly billed as "All Original" and priced at a dime. Clem Gretter's cover showcases a full-page sequence from the Don Drake on the Planet Saro strip, moving from a gondola plunging off a cliff into water, to a towering insect sentinel, to a genuinely unsettling many-tentacled creature with a gaping, toothed maw described as "a foul and pitiless creature." It's a wonderfully vivid snapshot of 1935 pulp-adventure imagination, promising readers a magazine packed with adventure, flying, mystery, science, and more.
