The Adventures of Harold Teen

The Adventures of Harold Teen, launched by Cupples & Leon in 1931, is a single-issue comic that adapts the popular newspaper strip of the same name. It captures the flapper-era high jinks and romantic mishaps of its titular, soda-fountain-loving teenager, a defining character of 1920s youth culture. Though brief, this comic stands as an early example of a newspaper strip transitioning to its own standalone publication.
