Here are some more early one with one of particular interest.

 

BZ, you tell me if you accept The Clock's ones as valid but I know the third one is and it might surprise people who it's by. The first is from Detective Picture Stories - Dec. 1936 and the second and third are from Detective Picture Stories - April 1937 -

 

I would say the first two pages are transitional pieces where the artists are taking advantage of the opportunity to artistically explore a new medium.

 

The headings aren't integrated into the artwork so they aren't true full page panels, but they're getting close.

 

More great stuff, Scrooge. :cloud9:

 

I didn't know Bob Kane had work in Detective Picture Stories.

Collectors who are more knowledgeable than me on what's been reprinted may have have some helpful suggestions.

Testimonials

 

Karl Rove, in a bombshell announcement, said he was stepping down as deputy chief of staff after six tempestuous White House years because he wants to spend more time studying his Photo-Journals.

 

"I'm grateful to have been a witness to history," said Rove, "but if I don't win one of those damn Pop Quizzes, my life will have been in vain."

 

-------------

 

Merv Griffin, popular American television entertainer, was quoted shortly after his death, "I hope they play that Comic Book Quiz game in heaven."
