BangZoom Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Here's our current listing of pre-1941 comic books that have a story that features a full page panel. Does anyone know of any others we can add to the list. Top Notch 1 which I've posted has a full page panel. I thought that was an ad. Is that from a story?

Does anyone know of any others we can add to the list. Top Notch 1 which I've posted has a full page panel. I thought that was an ad. Is that from a story? Yes, it's the first page of Top Notch 1. I can see how it might look like an ad, but it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 According to my calculations, Joe Shuster produced 17 of the first 25 full page panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Interested in something even older. Here's from Feb. 1937 in New Adventure # 13. Yup, 3 full page splashes!! - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Interested in something even older. Here's from Feb. 1937 in New Adventure # 13. Yup, 3 full page splashes!! - Sheesh. With Scrooge on the case, you should be asking, "Can anyone find a pre-1941 comic book WITHOUT a full-page splash?" Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, 3 full page splashes!! - Are the full page illustrations in the story, interspersed with mutipaneled pages? Yes. the other pages are Prinve Valiant style. Find an example attached. I also show other full panel pages from 2 other New Adventures. The first is from an Alger story titled Shifty Smith and the other is also cool. Enjoy. There is also tons of great Flessel work in there but no full page splash. Such a shame you guys can see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What issues are those images from? Do you have a smirk on your face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 What issues are those images from? They are from # 21 and # 22 respectively. # 21 for Shifty Smith and # 22 for the way cool G-Woman who looks like Alice Roy, i.e., better known around these parts as Nancy Drew with her 1930's look, esp. that hat.

Scrooge Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 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 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Those Siegel and Shuster boys are quite the innovators. Or lazy! I suspect that the answer is a bit of both -- it was a time saver but they also were genuinely interested in telling comic stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Your first two examples look like splash panels to me (almost a splash page on the second one but there are two panels with separately inked borders) while the third is definitely a splash page. Very nice research, Scrooge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
