Sideshow #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSideshow #1 (1949) delivers a clever, double-take gag across two continents, with the same punchline landing in both the New York Journal American and the London News of the World—just weeks apart. Written and drawn by E. Simms Campbell and Arthur Ferrier, the issue’s playful, tightly drawn strips showcase a rare early collaboration between the two creators, with Campbell’s distinctive inking adding sharp contrast to Ferrier’s bold lines. Cover by E. Simms Campbell.
A pair of comic strips, one from the New York Journal American and another from the London News of the World, deliver the same punchline weeks apart—each a quiet, perfectly timed joke in a world where humor travels faster than news.
