Scott’s Comic Book Cover Advent Calendar – December 16th

December 16th, 2009

Filed under: Comics

Today’s entry in the Comic Book Cover Advent Calendar Countdown is the oldest title featured this year. It dates from before the Golden Age of super-hero comics — two and a half years before Superman’s first appearance. The cover features Popeye, Henry, and Jiggs (from the comic strip “Bringing Up Father“). Other characters appear as ornaments on the strangely two-dimensional tree.
