In 1933, creator Syd Nichols had an argument with the publishers of Australia's Sunday Sun, which was publishing his popular Fatty Finn comic strip, resulting in Nichols' contract being voided. Nichols then began self-publishing his comic books, including Middy Malone, who proved to be almost as popular as Fatty Finn. Nicholls had created Middy Malone in 1931 but found no one willing to publish the strip either in Australia or America.
According to Wikipedia, Middy Malone and the Lost World was first published in the late 1930s; Comic Book Plus dates the book at 1943 -- so take your pick. Middy went on to many adventures, eventually getting his own Middy Malone's Magazine.
Enjoy.
