The First Day of Classic Comics Christmas 2012

I've got some free time so I will give this a try. However, I am putting an additional restriction on myself by limiting my choices to titles that started prior to 1960.
12. Movie Comics 1-6 (1939)

I have recently found a love for 1930s comics published prior to the boom created by Superman. Although this one was published after the Man of Steel's debut. It demonstrates a different approach to comics. While I find the results less than stellar, I appreciate this series for being somewhat experimental.

Here's a couple of pages.

Notice that the figures are all cut outs of movie stills with artwork drawn around them. Makes for some crazy effects.

I love that early 20th century hand colouring. I used to collect postcards with art form.
