Feature Funnies

Feature Funnies

Feature Funnies was a comic book anthology title published in the United States by Harry "A" Chesler for twenty issues from 1937 until 1939. The comic featured color reprints of popular newspaper comic strip characters from the McNaught Syndicate including boxer Joe Palooka, police officer Mickey Finn, show girl Dixie Dugan, the constantly bickering Bungle Family, and girl reporter Jane Arden.

Printer Everett M. Arnold, saw the rapidly rising popularity of the comic book medium and decided to join the industry. He began by buying out the title, "Feature Funnies", and added new titles which became the basis of the Quality Comics company. The new publisher changed the name to "Feature Comics" beginning with issue number 21.
