1951226541951. ComicsWestern Americana Anomalous comic "Cody of the Pony Express #1" with wrappers for "Female Outlaws". New York: Fox Features ca. 1951. Illustrated in color throughout. Original stapled pictorial wraps. 4to 10.25" x 7". A curious and rare anomalous printing from Fox Syndicate in which the comic interior Cody of the Pony Express does not match the wrappers Women Outlaws. Lacking issue number on the cover and no publication date or copyright notice. This issue is sometimes referred to as "Women Outlaws #0". The first Cody story starts on page 2 but still comprises a full standard 36-page comic. This anomaly illustrates how mid-century comic publishers especially smaller ones like Fox sometimes recycled or rebranded content to meet publishing schedules or redirect stock.<br /> <br /> The first issue of Cody of the Pony Express a short-lived Western series from Fox Feature Syndicate dramatizes the exploits of a youthful William "Buffalo Bill" Cody during his fabled tenure as a Pony Express rider. Released at the height of the postwar boom in Western popular culture the comic positions Cody as a frontier hero navigating sabotage frontier violence and betrayal. As with other Fox titles of the period Cody blends action with sentimentality and features a mix of standalone stories and continuing characters. This first issue is especially notable for it's covers which were originally used for another Western themed Fox comic "Women Outlaws" Issue no. 7.<br /> <br /> The comic includes five story segments: "Wagons of Death" in which Cody discovers a devastated wagon train and must avenge his dying friend; "Powdersmoke Payoff" in which Cody's efforts to secure a freight contract are disrupted by hired guns; "Sleepy Time Six-Shooters" a tale highlighting the physical toll of postal duty on the prairie; "Jim Coulter's Race for Life" involving a desperate dash through Indigenous territory; and the two-page prose narrative "Family Feud." Comic exhibits wear and discoloration to wrappers with some chipping to spine. Interior with two small ink mark to margins of page 1 otherwise clean and complete with minimal wear. Overall good to very good condition. This issue with anomalous wrappers is valuable not just for its rarity but also as a material example of the fluid and sometimes rushed publishing practices of Golden Age comic producers. unknown

15931World War posters advertising for women supporting the War effort. YWCA "Care for Her" & "For every fighter a woman worker!" poster c. 1915 backed on linen 41" x 27." This poster prominently features a woman factory worker confidently holding up an early biplane. It is an original World War I poster created by Adolph Treidler to publicize the YWCA's participation in the United War Work Campaign November 11 - 18 1918. <br/><br/>The United War Work Campaign was a a one-week fundraising effort during World War I. Seven voluntary organizations -- the National War Work Council of the YMCA the War Work Council of the YWCA the National Catholic War Council Knights of Columbus the Jewish Welfare Board the War Camp Community Service the American Library Association and the Salvation Army sought to raise $170500000 in subscriptions and pledges during the week of November 11-18 1918 to help boost American soldiers' morale and provide them with recreational activities.<br/>Women may not have fought on the front lines in World War I but as more and more men joined up they were needed in the defense industries and military support jobs. For Every Fighter a Woman Worker 1918 depicts a female munitions worker with the symmetrical poise and beauty of a classical statue; she bears a miniature war-plane in one hand and a bomb-shell in the other. In reality the work she advertised was dirty dangerous physically demanding and attended by frequent explosions and instances of chemical poisoning. Such injuries and fatalities did not come with medals and war pensions. The poster emphasizes the need to "Care for Her Through the YWCA" but ultimately the concern seems to be as much about her moral as physical welfare. The classical beauty of the figure helped to reassure women that their femininity would not be compromised by such work. unknown books
