Cartoonist (1912–1983) best known as the creator of the Kerry Drake comic. TLS signed “A,” one page both sides, 5.75 x 8, personal letterhead, April 8, 1942. Letter to “Carl.” In part: “As for payment on the strips, though I thought we had that settled, it seems that there is still some point of doubt. Unfortunately, I did not keep any clear record of payment, such as you did, for too often I paid you in advance, when you asked me to, in arrears, when you did not appear, in cash or in check, as it was convenient…You mention that Ed Diehl told you of the new idea we are concocting, but I was disappointed that you made no comment…Any new strip these days must have an unusual idea behind it to catch on, to capture the imagination, to create interest. These are not times for Melody Cranes—and besides, I hope we have something of the scope of Superman in our noggins.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a typed Charlie Chan synopsis, as well as five clipped sets of Charlie Chan comic strips from 1940–41, all affixed to lined sheets, as well as another set of clipped loose comics.
