Adventure Comics
*** "Rudek and the Bear" ***
by Peter Donahue
http://zuzelandthefox.com/comic/introduction/
I'll highly recommend this anthro webcomic. It is set in 1929 on the border
between Poland and Soviet Belarus. Polish border-guards have to deal with
life inside a military organization, smugglers, refugees, bureaucracy, and
boredom. Very well written & drawn. Intriguing characters, with appropriate wit.
(Mr. Donahue has a Kickstarter campaign to publish the first 50
pages in a hard-copy book format.)

"Lovecraft is Missing"
by Larry Latham
1926 - A librarian for Brown University of Providence, Rhode Island
& an Oklahoma writer for Weird Tales magazine are both hunting for the
elusive Mr. Lovecraft. All become entangled in the tentacles of
of eldrich conspiracies. Very atmospheric.
The home page shows the most recent comic page, Lovecraftian links, and a
most excellent blog that includes references to 1920s & 30s pop pulp culture.

"Frontiers" by Adrian M. Kleinbergen
This comic book is about anthropomorphic military pilots and aircraft adventures
in a world of late 1930s-40s technology. Captain Maria Fireclaw has clashes
and adventures with Lt. William Longburrow (of a species which she despises).
This story was serialized in the independent comic "Zu".
The societies shown, the technology, and the spirit
are similar to much of the Spontoonie stories.
Mr. Kleinbergen has published the 93-page black & white graphic novel
as a trade paperback, available from Lulu.com. Price is $12.95.
