Rip Kirby, Vol. 8 1964-1967 - Fred Dickenson

. .

Résumé :
Rip Kirby's adventures continue! In these eleven complete stories Rip Kirby's escapades take him to all parts of the globe, on land and sea, and even — for a first in this series — on a space ship to...the future! The suave detective mixes it up with more stunning beauties, sleazy blackmailers, and vicious murderers, drawn in John Prentice's slick, award-winning photo-realistic style. The strips are reproduced from the original King Features Syndicate proofs, insuring that every daily will look even better than when it was first published in newspapers over fifty years ago.
Containing more than 800 sequential comics from October 10, 1964 to July 8, 1967!
