Picture News

Published by the Lafayette Street Corporation, Picture News was a short-lived comic series that ran for ten issues from 1946 to 1947. The title is most associated with writer Charles Wessel and artists Harry Anderson, Emil Gershwin, and Jack Lehti, who together defined its visual and narrative style. As a post-war comic, it offers a snapshot of the era’s pulp-inspired storytelling, though its brief run makes it a niche but intriguing artifact for collectors of mid-century periodicals.
