Description

I am looking for any information on the Carr Family comic strip, and where I can find reproductions.

My mother purchased this printing plate for me at an antique shop while I was in high school. With the advent of the Internet, I have discovered that Rod is actually Ruth. But I can find no other information on this specific strip.

From Wikipedia:

Ruth Ann Roche (18 February 1917 – 4 May 1983)[2] was a writer and editor in the Golden Age of Comic Books. She was also the business partner of Jerry Iger.

Roche started as a writer at the Eisner-Iger Studio, a packager for Fiction House, in 1940. She wrote such features as "Phantom Lady", "Senorita Rio", "Sheena, Queen of the Jungle", "Kaanga", and "Camilla". She also wrote the female-led adventure newspaper strip Flamingo, drawn by Matt Baker and syndicated by Iger's Universal Phoenix Features Syndicate. In 1944, she created Kismet, Man of Fate, the first Muslim superhero, published in the comic book Bomber Comics from Elliot Publishing Company.[3]

She soon became Iger's associate editor; in 1945 they became business partners,[4] and the studio became the Roche-Iger Studio.[5] She stayed with the studio until it ceased operations in 1961.[4]

She later married a man named Schaffer (or possibly "Schaefer").[1] She died in 1983.
