21 pages of classic comic strips from BOYS' LIFE — early 1940s

These pages, reprinting popular newspaper comics from King Features Syndicate, were printed in BOYS' LIFE magazine issues from July, 1940 to May, 1943. Some months they did not appear, probably due to space limitations.

I collected these from the BOYS' LIFE site provided by Google Books.

BUCK ROGERS — Sunday comic strips 1931 "Marooned on Venus" — complete sequence

These fine looking Buck Rogers Sunday comic strips, originally published from December 7, 1930 to July 12, 1931, are from the Internet Archive. As explained in the Wikipedia entry, Buck Rogers:

"On March 30, 1930, a Sunday strip joined the Buck Rogers daily strip. There was, as yet, no established convention for the same character having different adventures in the Sunday strip and the daily strip (many newspapers carried one but not the other), so the Sunday strip at first followed the adventures of Buck's young friend Buddy Deering, Wilma Deering's younger brother, and Buddy's girlfriend Alura, later joined by Black Barney. It was some time before Buck made his first appearance in a Sunday strip. Other prominent characters in the strip included Dr. Huer, who punctuated his speech with the exclamation, "Heh!", the villainous Killer Kane, his paramour Ardala and Black Barney, who began as a space pirate but later became Buck's friend and ally."

LI'L ABNER — 1960 — "Plastic Surgery"

This is the followup to the Li'l Abner continuity I showed you here.. It ran in newspapers July 2 to July 28, 1960.

This is also the last of the Li'l Abner comic strips I have that were pasted onto scrapbook pages by a collector. I found them in the late 1970s.
