The Funnies #41

This March 1940 Dell anthology crackles with action right from its striking cover, where a bold red-and-white aircraft dives dramatically above a tank engulfed in flames and explosions, while soldiers scramble through the chaos below. The scene captures that breathless blend of aerial adventure and ground combat that made The Funnies such an appealing package for dime-a-copy readers. Inside, you'll find fan favorites including Rex, King of the Deep, John Carter of Mars, and Sky Ranger — with John Carter content written by Edgar Rice Burroughs and illustrated by John Coleman Burroughs.
