Whirlwind Comics

A short-lived but notable entry from the dawn of the Golden Age, Whirlwind Comics was published by the Temerson / Helnit / Continental group from 1940, lasting just three issues. The series is primarily the work of writer-artist Bert Whitman, who handled the majority of the creative duties across its brief run. Though it didn't achieve lasting fame, it stands as a snapshot of the early, experimental days of the comic book industry, when small publishers and versatile talents like Whitman helped define the medium's first explosive years.
