Ally Sloper's Ha'porth

Published by the Dalziel brothers in 1899, Ally Sloper's Ha'porth was a short-lived ten-issue comic starring the iconic Victorian rogue Ally Sloper, a character already famous from the pages of Ally Sloper's Half Holiday. This series, primarily associated with artist and publisher Gilbert Dalziel, offered a cheap, accessible dose of Sloper's irreverent humor and satirical adventures at the turn of the century. Though brief, it stands as a notable footnote in British comics history, capturing the enduring popularity of one of the medium's earliest recurring characters.
