About the series
A 1988 series from Pioneer, The Official Rip Kirby collects and reprints classic newspaper strips from the 1940s onward, focusing on the suave detective and his adventures. Spanning six issues, the series is most associated with writer Hal Schuster, who compiled these vintage tales for a new audience. It matters as a key archival effort, preserving the work of a long-running comic strip that defined the hardboiled yet sophisticated private eye genre.
