Ed Carey was an early 20th-century American comic artist who was the original creator of 'Brainy Bowers and Drowsy Duggan' (1901-1915) and contributed to 'Simon Simple' (1902-1909). His best-remembered work by his own hand was 'Professor Hypnotiser' (1903-1905). Carey was a master in drawing goofy characters with unforgettable grotesque faces. He was also frequently commissioned to continue gag-a-day comics originally created by other cartoonists, such as John A. Lemon's 'Willy Cute' (1903-1906), Hans Phildius' 'Dad in Kidland' (1911-1912) and Charles H. Wellington's 'Pa's Imported Son-In-Law' (1913-1916). The latter series eventually became a celebrity comic starring Charlie Chaplin.

The pages are in good condition, although wrinkles, tears, flaking and missing pieces may occur. Very delicate pages due to their old age...
