Western/Dell Publishing's Super Comics ran for 121 issues from 1938 to 1949, basically reprinting popular newspaper comic strips from the Chicago Tribune -- N. Y. News Syndicate, a bargain for those comic strip fans whose local papers did not carry the syndicate's offerings. Super Comics #1 was basically a continuation of Dell's Popular Comics #27 -- continuing story arcs from that magazine.
Strips carried in this issue included Dick Tracy, Little Orphan Annie, Terry and the Pirates, Gasoline Alley, Moon Mullins, and Crime a Hundred Years from Now. Also featured were Smilin' Jack, The Gumps, Little Joe, Smokey Stover, Smitty, Harold Teen, Small Stuff, Tyrone Ford, Winnie Winkle, Sweeney and Son, Punchie, Streaky, and Tootsie the Telephone Girl.
The comicbookplus link below has eliminated Dick Tracy and Little Orphan Annie from their scan because both remain in copyright.
Enjoy these newspaper strips from 1936, 1937, and 1938.
