Comic World

A whimsical, long-running series from Memory Lane Publications that began in 1967, Comic World ran for just four issues but left an outsized mark as a showcase of early comic strip masters. The series primarily reprinted the work of Frederick Burr Opper, with contributions from George Herriman, capturing the playful, turn-of-the-century spirit of newspaper cartooning. It matters as a fond, fondly remembered archival project that preserved the gag-a-day rhythms and character-driven humor of an earlier era.
