Edgar Bergen Presents Charlie McCarthy in Comics

A single-issue 1938 comic from Albert Whitman & Company, this title brought the wisecracking ventriloquist dummy Charlie McCarthy—already a radio star—into the printed panel. Created by the team behind the popular Edgar Bergen radio show, the book captures the vaudevillian humor and gentle mischief of the era. It stands as a charming, niche artifact of the crossover between radio comedy and early comic books.
