Rip Kirby The First Modern Detective Complete Comic Strips 1946-1948
San Diego, California: IDW Publishing. 2009. hardcover. The first volume of Alex Raymond's modernist classic Rip Kirby from its start in 1946. Created by Alex Raymond when he was deactivated from the Marines after World War II, Rip Kirby was a fresh approach to the genre, a departure from the prevailing hard-boiled style of detective fiction. Rip Kirby was urbane and cerebral, and used scientific methods as often as he used his fists when solving crimes and mysteries. Very good, light wear to bottom edge of boards, light scuffing to bottom edge of pages. / Very good. Item #12024
