Comics Revue

Comics Revue, a five-issue series published by St. John in the late 1940s, gathered a roster of newspaper strip talent for a unique anthology experiment. Anchored by writer Gus Arriola, the book featured the clean, lively cartooning of artists like Charlie Plumb, Al Plastino, and Bernard Dibble, bringing their distinct comic-strip sensibilities to the comic book page. Though brief, it stands as a fascinating snapshot of the era's transition between daily strips and the burgeoning comic book market.
