Early in the transformation of comic strips to comic books, United Features Syndicate published Comics on Parade as a showcase for its most popular strips, including Tarzan, Li'l Abner and Nancy. A young Tarzan meets Jane while rescuing her from the ape Terkoz, and one of the great love stories begins, in colorized reprints of the earliest Hal Foster Tarzan strips. Li'l Abner's Aunt Bessie from the city falls for Baron Slinkovitch, from the far-off nation of Skurvia. But neither of them realizes that the Baron is flat broke and after Bessie's riches, in a Li'l Abner storyline by Al Capp. And an illustrated biography of screen legend Edward G. Robinson.
