Description

There's a killer on campus, and Dan Raven's nephew has just been cleared!

Size 20.25" x 13.75".

So I am a huge Al McWilliams fan and decided to start looking at Dateline Danger and not just Twin Earth pages.

Found out that Dateline Danger is first Newspaper strip to feature a black character in the lead.

We probably have Sidney Poitier to thank for that in his role of Virgil Tibbs in the movie "In the Heat of the Night". McWilliams gives each character their spotlight and connects them in this interior space.

An article I read said I Spy was the inspiration. Still cool stuff

If they are spies then I Spy. I just saw the cop car on the art.
