Today in Comics History, September 20: Happy birthday, Gus Edson!

Born on this date in 1901: Gus Edson, writer and cartoonist on the comics strip The Gumps (for 24 years!) and co-creator of the strip Dondi (which he wrote for 12 years). Edson co-scripted and made a cameo in the 1961 Dondi movie as a police sergeant (along with artist Irwin Hasen as a police sketch artist).


"A Dream Comes True" from Four Color #1176 [Dondi] (Dell, January 1961)

Happy birthday, Gus!

That doesn’t look like Joe Certa art or Ben Oda lettering…

Whoops! I copied the data from the comics portion of the book, I think.
