Wednesday Comics: Never bring an octopus to an axe fight!
More Fun Comics #44 (June, 1939)
More Fun Comics (1935-1947) was the original publication of the company that we know today as DC Comics. It was also the first comic to publish original material rather than reprints of newspaper strips. Issue #6 introduced Doctor Occult, a supernatural detective created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster (who would later become famous as the creators of Superman), and who is often considered one of the earliest superheroes in comics. During its twelve year run, More Fun debuted several other notable characters including The Spectre, Doctor Fate, Green Arrow, and Aquaman.
Of course the stories in More Fun weren’t all about superheroics. They were also about swashbuckling, manly adventure, daring-do, and, of course, axe fights.
