EAGLE SCOUT ROY POWERS SKYROADS HAIRBREADTH HARRY JITTER SPEED SPAULDING DICKY DARE NAPOLEON CHIEF WAHOO OAKEY DOAKES SCORCHY SMITH LIGHTNING AND THE LONE RIDER BABE BUNTING --- AND MORE! Although newspaper Sunday strips had been compiled before, for promotion purposes, Famous Funnies in 1936 became the first book of comic strips put together for sale to the public – at the significant price of 10-cents! Thus began the monthly mission of encouraging kids (and adults) to plop down a dime for their addiction. Famous Funnies began by reprinting the Sunday Comics sections, but soon graduated to original stories and original characters. The comic ran for almost 20 years and 218 issues, securing its place in American comic history and the first and one of the longest-running of the Golden Age.
