Bob Star

Will Gould’s Bob Star ran for just three issues from 1936 to 1937, published by Nerbini. Gould, who wrote and drew the series, chronicled the adventures of a square-jawed hero in a brief but distinctive pre-WWII comic. Though short-lived, the strip stands as a early example of Gould’s solo work, capturing the pulp-style energy of the era’s emerging comic-book medium.
