Joe Kubert. 1954

Something I noticed while poking around in the past. St. John’s Publications reprinted KITTY #1 (Oct, 1948) as LUCY THE REAL GONE GIRL (June, 1953). Along with changing Kitty’s name, they erased cartoonist Lily Rennée’s signature. Fascinating woman: http://womenincomics.wikia.com/wiki/Lily_Ren%C3%A9e

I know Doonesbury’s been around for forty years, but the first ten years were golden. There’s no better primer on American politics and culture in the seventies.
