View scansBlondie in Home-Spun Yarns! Stories, art and cover by Chic Young, plus an introduction by Caswell Adams. Pioneering comics publisher David McKay's Feature Book was the first US comic book to devote complete issues to a single character. This issue reprinted Blondie Sunday strips from 1942. The foibles of an ex-flapper who finds domestic bliss with her everyman husband became one of the longest-running comic strips of the 20th century, spawning a series of movies and even a sandwich shop. Dagwood could probably make the bus on time, if he didn't run into the mailman on his way out the door every morning. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
