One of my favorite pieces. Saturday Evening Post from February 23, 1935. The SEP frequently ran single panel comics, including this issue with the first appearance of Marge’s Little Lulu.

Another issue Comic Book Magazine, this one from July 19, 1942. This was an insert in the Chicago Sunday Tribune. Like the Sunday Funnies, but bound at the spine.

PICTURE POST (Oct 3, 1953)

Picture Post was a British weekly illustrated magazine published from 1938 to 1957, famous for its pioneering use of photojournalism. Founded by publisher Stefan Lorant and modeled partly on Life magazine, it featured striking photographs and human-interest stories covering everyday life, celebrities, sports, and major events—particularly World War II.

I’ve been collecting comic almanacs for years because they often printed comic strips or panels. This is Frank Leslie’s Comic Almanac For The Year 1875 (published late 1874).

LOOK (Oct 4, 1955)

LOOK magazine was a popular American pictorial magazine published from 1937 to 1971, known for its large-format pages, striking photography, and coverage of celebrities, politics, sports, entertainment, and everyday American life. Alongside Life, it helped define the golden age of photojournalism, featuring work by prominent photographers and offering readers an intimate visual look at mid-century America. Its images of Hollywood stars, presidential campaigns, sporting events, and changing social customs make LOOK an especially valuable record of American popular culture from the 1940s through the 1960s.
