About the series
From 1944 to 1949, Marvel published Tessie the Typist Comics, a lighthearted 23-issue series centered on the office misadventures of its titular working-girl protagonist. Most frequently drawn and written by Morris Weiss and Basil Wolverton, the title also featured a rotating cast of recurring characters including Skidsy, Tessie Tender, Millie Collins, Flicker, Rusty Rumple, and Lana. A playful slice of wartime and post-war humor, the series offered a charming glimpse into the era's workplace comedy and the career-girl archetype that populated mid-century comics.
