Published Sep 1947 by Archer St. John.$24.00- INCOMPLETE. Two pages missing from latter half of book. Interrupts both Mopsy and Virgil art and story.
Cover by Gladys Parker. Stories and art by Gladys Parker and Ed Kleis. Mopsy, one of the first female-centric comic strips, by pioneering female artist Gladys Parker, combines an Ever Meulen art style with pantomime-style gags and good-girl art. Mopsy's dad suggests she get a job to earn some money, but with clothing, supplies and business-school tuition, he's paying far more than she's earning. This four-page story by Parker is original to this comic, not a reprint from the strip. Mopsy adds new meaning to the phrase, "paint yourself into a corner." Mopsy tries to photograph a high-diver, but she needs to hold still. Mopsy returned to comic-book pages a year later in Mopsy (1948) #1. Mopsy; Virgil Stagg. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10. Grade: PR 0.5 explanation of grade Condition: Used (collectible)
