Mike is back with another episode of 1930s comic book fun. Explore the dawn of the comic book era before the landscape became littered with super-heroes. This time out, Mike talks about DC's very first licensed property, DC's first multi-media spinoff (maybe?), and a Dr. Fu Manchu ripoff.

Here's some reference material to wet your whistle:

DC's first action hero, Barry O'Neill - New Fun #1 by Lawrence Lariar. Compared to the same story in Atomic Comics #1, Page 1, Page 2, by unknown artist.

Classic Barry from More Fun #24 by Leo O'Mealia, Page 1, Page 2

Oswald the Rabbit - 1 2 3
