I've heard rumors about the existence of an early Superman 8 pager, but could never find an actual owner, so I was excited to get my hands on this pretty decent edition.
There's no doubt this was drawn in the early 1940's, the artwork is crude, with swipes of familiar poses. Superman rescues Lois' virtue and then takes it himself, …. the height of the dialogue is: Superman, you were just in the nick of time he was about to fuck me ….. I don't see how I can hit a guy for that!
Since superheroes are missed by the golden years of 8 pagers, we don't really see them until the late 1940's when the artist known as Mr.Dyslexic parodies a number of National (DC) characters including Superboy, but not The Man himself. In the 50's Superman will turn up in the Boarderless and Barber Pole series.

Rare Nellie the Nurse Tijuana Bible Discovered |
|
We've recently discovered a Tijuana Bible Titled Nellie the Nurse and Her Big Heart-Throb in "The Linen Closet" by an unknown artist. From the late 1930's or early 1940's it is 8 pages including the cover. This comic was in pretty bad shape and printed on some weird paper. It took quite an effort to restore, but we thought it was well worth making this cool eight pager available to our fellow collectors, you can purchase a new reprint from our library, it's code is Nellie the Nurse tjc97
If you are familiar with other comics by this artist please contact us.
