Need more information

I dug as much info as I could find in the Kirby Collector but found little information on this late 50's strip. If anyone has info on Surf Hunters, I need to add who the publisher was and to confirm that this was unpublished. Please contact me. Thanks.

No publisher

Surf Hunter was a syndicate strip proposal that didn't sell.
The promise was it to be an adventure strip that would explore the sea not unlike «Sky Masters» was doing it for outer space.

Only a handful of strips were produced and the last ones were not inked.
It means, you have to CHASE after these rare Kirby pencils, Tom!

Too bad it didn't find a place to be published, it's another great Kirby/Wood pairing!

Updated

Thanks Kracles, I updated the publisher to "none." Ferran also gave me information that indicated the strip was created in 1959 not 1958 so the year was updated too.

Mr Hunter

I forgot to add that Surf Hunter should be written without plural since Hunter is the last name of the main character.

Updated

Thanks for the title catch. I updated it without the "s."

I'm in the middle of writting

I'm in the middle of writting a book "The Men Who Made the Comics" and was wondering if I could use a couple of these scans - fully accredited to your site, of course.

Scan usage

Jan please contact me directly through the contact form on this site to discuss. The Kirby Museum and I support scholarly efforts while maintaining the intentions of the original owners of the pieces. Tom
