- Archie is a long-running American comic strip based on the line of the popular Archie Comics featuring the character Archie Andrews. Launched by McClure Newspaper Syndicate on February 4, 1946,[1] it features the misadventures of Archie Andrews and his pals. Archie is currently distributed by the Creators Syndicate.

- Dick Tracy is an American comic strip featuring Dick Tracy, a tough and intelligent police detective created by Chester Gould. It made its debut on Sunday, October 4, 1931, in the Detroit Mirror] and was distributed by the Chicago Tribune New York News Syndicate. Gould wrote and drew the strip until 1977, and various artists and writers have continued it. Dick Tracy has also been the hero in a number of films, including Dick Tracy (1990) in which Warren Beatty played the lead.

- Big Chief Wahoo was a syndicated comic strip, originating in 1936, created by Elmer Woggon. The initial star of the strip was supposed to be a character called The Great Gusto, a quack medicine salesman. Big Chief Wahoo took the job just for fun. He didn’t need the money, since oil had just been discovered on his land. Yahoo was probably going to be written out of the strip eventually, but he became the more popular character, and so it was The Great Gusto who was written out. Chief Wahoo was highly caricatured, though he was also a good guy. The bad guys were non-Indians who were always trying to cheat Wahoo out of his money. They failed, although Wahoo never really knew they were trying to swindle him. He was too goodhearted to even consider other people might not be.


The pages are in good condition, although wrinkles, tears, flaking and missing pieces may occur.
The pages were conserved in brown paper bags and will be delivered as such, however also wrapped in plastic.



Will be shipped with track&trace.
