Period 1940-1941 Chief Wahoo: Steve Roper and Mike Nomad was an American adventure comic strip that ran under various titles from November 23, 1936, to December 26, 2004.[1] Originally Big Chief Wahoo, the focus and title character of the strip changed over time to Chief Wahoo (1940–1945), Chief Wahoo and Steve Roper (1945–1946), Steve Roper and Wahoo (1946–1948), Steve Roper (1948–1969) and finally Steve Roper and Mike Nomad (1969–2004). It was initially distributed by Publishers Syndicate, then by Field Newspaper Syndicate, before concluding at King Features Syndicate. Despite the changes in title, characters, themes, and authors, the entire 68-year run formed a single evolving story, from an Indian who teamed up with an adventurous young photojournalist to two long-time friends ready to retire after their long, eventful careers. Created by Allen Saunders and Elmer Woggon, the strip was written by Saunders for more than forty years until it was taken over by his son John Saunders, who wrote it for another 24 years. Woggon illustrated the strip from its inception until the mid-1940s; other artists who spent considerable time on the strip included Pete Hoffman (11 years), William Overgard (31 years), and Fran Matera (19 years). L'il Abner: Li'l Abner was a satirical American comic strip that appeared in multiple newspapers in the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. It featured a fictional clan of hillbillies living in the impoverished fictional mountain village of Dogpatch, USA. Written and illustrated by Al Capp (1909–1979), the strip ran for 43 years, from August 13, 1934, through November 13, 1977. The Sunday page debuted on February 24, 1935, six months after the daily. It was originally distributed by United Feature Syndicate and later by the Chicago Tribune New York News Syndicate. Before Capp introduced Li'l Abner, his comic strips typically dealt with northern urban American experiences. However, Li'l Abner was his first strip based in the Southern United States. The comic strip had 60 million readers in over 900 American newspapers and 100 foreign papers across 28 countries. Will be shipped with track&trace. #specialcollectionservice
