The Funnies #37

This November 1939 issue of The Funnies features a striking cover by John Coleman Burroughs, depicting a fearsome golden creature — all bared fangs and wild eyes — lunging from behind a riveted metal panel at a blue-skinned, spike-crowned villain and a human companion. The cover promises a thrilling John Carter of Mars adventure alongside eight pages of Sky Ranger, plus Captain Easy, Alley Oop, Mr. District Attorney, Crime Busters, Tom Beatty, and more. At a dime a copy, this Dell anthology delivered a remarkable range of adventure, humor, and pulp excitement all in one package.
