77 Sunset Strip v2 #1 - Russ Manning art + 1st issue

77 Sunset Strip #1

77 Sunset Strip (v2) #1, 1962 - Following a handful of appearances in Four Color Comics, these LA detectives graduate into their own title. All three stories are approachable, thanks to Russ Manning's confident line. Each tale has its strengths, but the tale of Kookie's accidental exchange with a spy stands out as exceptional. Many scenes occur during the evening, calling for greater contrast and depth. The thin diagonal lines of rain also increase excitement and visual interest (see interior page below). A contents page on the inside front cover borrows panels from each of the respective stories. This is 5 of 6 77 Sunset Strip issues by Manning. /// key 1st issue / Manning gallery
