Rip Kirby #1

This volume collects the earliest adventures of Rip Kirby, the sophisticated detective created by legendary cartoonist Alex Raymond. Originally published as a newspaper strip in the late 1940s, the stories showcase Raymond's elegant art and the character's transition from hard-boiled tropes to a more urbane, intellectual approach to crime-solving. IDW's archival presentation preserves the complete run of these classic strips in a high-quality hardcover format.
