| Dick's Adventures (In Dreamland) by Neil O'Keefe & Max Trell (0380-) 1st Appearance January 12, 1947 - In an attempt to take re-explore the viability of the full-page comic in the late 1940's Hearst syndicate ordered the creation of Dick's adventures in Dreamland in 1947. The strip could easily have been called Dick's adventures in History. Dick, the main character, actually travels through historical events beginning with Columbus' voyage to the New World, then through the history of american colonization and finally american history. The strip was intended to be a visually splendid epic and was given full-page status which is somewhat unusual for post-war strips. The strip stayed very close to historical events and did not develop sympathetic characters over the long-term. The market for Dick's adventures is reasonably good. The early fulls sell well, but do not command a premium due to ample supply. The later smaller strips actually sell better in runs due to lesser supply. Most are numbered. | ||||
