Description

Okay Comics #1 premiered on October 16, 1937 and reprinted US newspaper strips as Terry and the Pirates, Alley Oop, Tailspin Tommy, and Mutt and Jeff. These books were "packaged" for export to the UK and Australia by the newly formed "comic book shop" of Eisner and Iger. Will Eisner served as the main cover artist for the title.

The provenance of this piece is a nice bit of history -- Will Eisner gifted it to his friend Al Williamson and, on Al's passing, his widow passed it to dear friends who have generously gifted it to me (in light of my owning an OKAY Comics cover and deep appreciation for the Golden Age of comics).

Amazing that each head is drawn instead of just using stats.
