THE SUNDAY FUNNIES

Veteran archival publisher Russ Cochran is going back into the reprinting industry with a vengeance, saith Scoop. He recently announced the launch of another publishing effort, this one designed to showcase historically important comic strips. The Sunday Funnies will be a 32-page, monthly comic section which reprints the best Sunday comic pages from the late 1890s through the 1950s. Each issue will contain 32 full-page, 22"x16" Sunday pages in full color. Included in the line-up will be Gasoline Alley, Little Nemo, Polly And Her Pals, Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, Alley Oop, Terry And The Pirates, and many more.

The Sunday Funnies No. 1 will be available November 2011, with a retail price of $10. Subscriptions will be offered, but comic shops can place their orders for this historic first issue through Diamond.
