BangZoom Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I did some more digging and I found a bio of Hugh Rankin printed in a blog that discusses the history of American newspaper comic strips. Ink-Slinger Profiles: Hugh Rankin Here are examples of a couple of Rankin's comic strips that were published in 1903.

BangZoom Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Last night after reading Hugh Rankin's biography, I recalled seeing several of his cartoons in Cartoons Magazine many years ago. I looked through a bunch of magazines this afternoon and found these three examples in the May and June 1917 issues. Before Adam and After Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFury Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Interesting. Quite a different style than his later covers. He was good. I'm amazed you had these (and were able to locate them!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'm amazed you had these (and were able to locate them!) I've got about 100 issues. It was actually lots of fun looking through the magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markseifert Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Oh... Great stuff. May have missed it previously but have to ask -- any dime novels / story papers / nickel weeklies? I'm amazed you had these (and were able to locate them!) I've got about 100 issues. It was actually lots of fun looking through the magazines.

The annotated version, with author's notes, of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 May have missed it previously but have to ask -- any dime novels / story papers / nickel weeklies? Yes, I have hundreds of them. Maybe thousands. I've lost count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 (image found online) That cover doesn't look familiar. I haven't looked at my dime novels in many years, but I think I'd remember that one. I'm going to venture a guess that I don't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
