Zap! Pow! Vroom!
The birth of serious dramatic strips such as jungle hero "Tarzan," outer-space adventurer "Buck Rogers," dashing detective "Dick Tracy," swashbuckling "Terry and the Pirates," Intergalactic explorer "Flash Gordon" and the daring "Prince Valiant" between 1928 and 1937 created a new narrative genre with heroic characters and suspenseful plots revolving around adventure, crime and science fiction. Females were represented by crime-fighting vigilante "Miss Fury" and redheaded, globe-trotting reporter "Brenda Starr." |
