    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 like Eugene Zimmerman and Frederick Burr Opper (the creator of "Happy Hooligan," the first major comic strip). 10 5/16 in. x 13 3/4 in., Partial Color. Every issue contained a lithograph cover, centerfold and back cover, and features many vintage ads and artwork. This issue Vol. XI - No. 284 was published August 16, 1882. Cover by Bernhard Gillam. Centerfold by Puck founder Joseph Keppler, back cover and several interior panels by Opper.
