"Up Anchor!" comic by Kreigh Collins

My recent acquisition is this quite large page of Up Anchor! comic by Kreigh Collins from 1970.

Kreigh Taylor Collins (1908 – 1974), born in Davenport, Iowa, was an American cartoonistbest known for the comic strip Kevin the Bold. In 1968, Collins began working on the comic strip Up Anchor!, a story in modern setting about sailing, loosely based on his own experiences of sailing. Up Anchor! was published as a Sunday comic strip until 1972.  

Here you can read and see more comics by Kreigh Collins.  

 This is not my first page of Kreigh Collins's comics. I already have a page of his comic Kevin the Bold, which you can see here. 

The last image shows how the comic looks in print.

 

 

Kevin the Bold comic by Kreigh Collins

I recently acquired this Kevin the Bold comic from 1968 by Kreigh Collins. Beyond liking the drawing, I bought the comics because of the astonishing last two frames.

"Kreigh Collins (1908-1974) began his career as an illustrator for magazines in the 1930s. In 1950, along with writer R. R. Winterbotham, Collins debuted his most popular work, the newspaper strip Kevin the Bold.

Kevin the Bold (1950-1968) was a comic strip whose star originally appeared as a supporting character in a strip called Mitzi McCoy, first published in 1948. The original strip focused on the escapades of a 20th-century socialite and heiress. When she met her 15th-century ancestor, Kevin, he became the new star and the strip was renamed for him. Kevin, originally presented as an Irish shepard, eventually becomes something of an errand boy for King Henry VIII."
