SMITH THE FOUR COLOR COMICS COLLECTION BLACK \u0026 WHITE EDITION","description":"\u003cp\u003eSUSIE Q. SMITH is brash, funny, smart, perky and cute as a button. The comic was about a teenage\u003cbr\u003e\ngirl and covered many of the familiar themes of young adult comics: dating, school, dealing with\u003cbr\u003e\nparents and siblings. What set it apart, at least slightly, was the comic was unusually frank about\u003cbr\u003e\nSusie's romantic life. Susie and her pals are often depicted in the midst of communal make-out\u003cbr\u003e\nsessions, something you'd rarely if ever see in the typically modest teenage features, although the\u003cbr\u003e\nWalters toned it down for SUSIE Q. SMITHÕs Dell FOUR COLOR series.\u003cbr\u003e\nSUSIE Q. SMITH was originally a single panel comic strip published by King Features in 1945.The\u003cbr\u003e\nstrip was created by Linda and Jerry Walter, a husband and wife team. Jerry did the writing and\u003cbr\u003e\nLinda handled the artwork. The series became a moderate success. In 1953 the Walters moved\u003cbr\u003e\nSUSIE Q. SMITH from King Features to the McNaught Syndicate. The move to a different company\u003cbr\u003e\nalso included a change in the comicÕs format from a daily single panel to a multi-panel strip. SUSIE\u003cbr\u003e\nQ. SMITH ultimately lasted into 1959.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RETRO COMIC REPRINTS","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44337362829473,"sku":"9798891522107","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/dyyrz6j-front-shortedge-384_355f9500-50ef-46af-8b00-a8a0881ccc14.jpg?v=1747582553","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/susie-q-smith-the-four-color-comics-collection-black-white-edition","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
