I’m leaving on a business trip, and long-time blog readers know that means there’s a reprint interlude in the works. This time we’ll look at the debut of that early adventure comic strip, Tailspin Tommy.

Before we go any further, I must note that the reprint run that will appear here over the next week or so is not quite complete – it’s missing a strip or three – but the story reads just fine.

I’ll have a few things to say about Tailspin Tommy in the coming days, but for now, on with the show.
