About the series

Dell's The Funnies (1936–1942) was a pioneering, 64-issue comic that helped bridge the gap between newspaper strips and original comic-book content. Anchored by the talents of Sheldon Mayer, Art Krenz, and V. T. Hamlin, the series featured a mix of adventure and humor, including early comic-book appearances of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter and Dejah Thoris alongside original heroes like Captain Midnight. Its blend of licensed and homegrown material made it a key title in Dell's pre-war lineup, showcasing the evolving art of sequential storytelling.
