Stories From Scoop Comics #8: Action! Mystery! Thrills!

By Kari A. Therrian

One of the earliest pioneers of comic book shops-if not the first comic book shop-was Harry "A" Chesler, Jr. (The "A" was claimed by Chesler to stand for "Anything.") His name and handiwork was an ubiquitous presence from the earliest days of comics to the waning years of the Golden Age in the late 1940s. Publisher, editor or "sweat shop" task master, Chesler literally left his "imprint" on many titles of this era.Although mostly remembered for the books he published in the early and mid 1940s, the Chesler comic book titles may be broken down into three periods. In the early period of 1937-1939, he produced "funny books" that focused more on humor strips, adventure and western stories. In the pre-war years he joined the super-hero parade with titles such as Dynamic Comics, Yankee Comics, Scoop Comics and Punch Comics, which were short-lived in their first incarnation.You can enjoy again - or for the first time -Scoop Comics #8 with this public domain reprint from UP History and Hobby.
