Did you know that radio's Sam Spade made the transition to comic strip? You bet! Newspapers across the country featured this clever advertisement for the radio sponsor, Wildroot, on an infrequent basis, with an artist take on Howard Duff and Lurene Tuttle as Sam and Effie. As of last week, I believe I have a scan of every strip and if you lick on the images, they should enlarge on your computer screen. Here are the first 14 strips which ran through September of 1950.
Enjoy!
