If you’ve been reading how the new video game EPIC MICKEY will be returning “the Mouse” to his adventurous roots, here’s the beginning of one of Floyd Gottfredson’s great 1930’s MICKEY MOUSE newspaper serials demonstrating what those roots were!

ANTHRO was a failed late sixties DC effort at doing something different. Written and drawn by cartoonist Howie Post who had worked for DC off and on for a couple of decades and was then doing a daily newspaper strio, too, ANTHRO was the less than realsitic tale of a caveboy and his friends, enemies and family. Sort of a stone age BINKY if you will. See for yourself here:

Here you’ll find some miscellaneous 1970’s art from that master of stylish design, Jim Steranko. Included are one-off book covers and a rare digest illustration for a sci-fi mag.

Finally today, here’s a month’s worth of an unsuccessful 1955 newspaper strip by Warren Tufts entitled THE LONE SPACEMAN.
