About this item

SPARKLER COMICS NO. 96 - A classic ten-cent comic book published by United Feature Syndicate, featuring the whimsical humor and charm characteristic of Golden Age comics. This issue showcases a cover story centered on balanced nutrition and wholesome family values, with a young boy and girl displaying various canned goods and vegetables to a friendly goat. The interior features the popular NANCY strip by Ernie Bushmiller, in which Nancy uses a lie detector device from Professor Jones with humorous results when testing her dog's friendliness. The comic captures the innocent, educational humor typical of 1940s-era children's comics, blending entertainment with gentle lessons about honesty and animal behavior. The issue also includes vintage advertising, including a full-page promotion for Daisy B-B guns and the Daisy Handbook, reflecting the product tie-ins common to comics of this era. Signed by artist Ernie Bushmiller on the cover.
