Featuring the sleek, detailed artwork and intricate mystery plots that defined the strip's golden era, this edition includes the complete dailies and Sundays from this period, along with historical essays and archival materials that contextualize the work within Raymond's career and the broader comic strip landscape.
In "Chapter 1: Catch a Falling Star," Rip Kirby dives into a web of deception when he uncovers a scheme where Fern charms wealthy men into writing love letters—letters the mysterious 'Pen' then uses to extort them. As Rip tries to protect Fern, the 'Pen' strikes back with a deadly twist, poisoning Rip with a seemingly innocent writing instrument. With Rip laid up in the hospital, his butlers Desmond and Wiggers step in, turning the tables by having Wiggers pose as the next target. Written by Fred Dickenson and illustrated by John Prentice, this gripping installment features a cover by John Prentice.
