There was a corner variety store that I would pass everyday going
to and from school that would display comic books in the window
hanging from a line with clothespins. I would look at them as I
went by, but never went in as the majority of books on display were
JUMBO COMICS or JUNGLE COMICS, etc. Since I was able to
read these books free at my barbershop (he always had a pile of them),
I never bought them...with the exception of JUMBO #79 and #121.
One day passing by I saw something different, it was a copy of
FUNNYMAN #1...from "... the creators of SUPERMAN...".
Not having the dime, I could only hope they didn't sell it before I could
get the money. Needless to say, the next afternoon it was mine!
A couple of months later I picked up issue #2 at the same store...
but that was the last I saw of FUNNYMAN.
