    Puck Magazine was a political/social humor and satire magazine published from 1871 to 1918, founded by Austrian-born Joseph Keppler. Color cartoons separated Puck from other journals at the time, and featured some early attempts at sequential art by many of America's "first wave" of cartoonists; the most famous of which was Frederick Burr Opper, creator of "Happy Hooligan," the first major comic strip. Every issue contained a lithograph cover, centerfold and back cover, and features many vintage ads and artwork. 10 5/16 in. x 13 3/4 in., Partial Color. This issue, Vol. XI - No. 278, was published July 5, 1882. It features a color cover by Friedrich Graetz, as well as a back cover, centefold, and panels by Opper. Cover price $0.10.
