Tim Tyler's Luck

When he teamed with an older sidekick, Spud, they began globe-trotting for a series of international adventures.

Many tales took place in Africa, as noted by comic strip historian Don Markstein: Starting March 31, 1935, Young added a topper strip, Curley Harper; it ran until January 14, 1945, and sometimes appeared separately.

The illustrators included Alex Raymond, Burne Hogarth, Clark Haas, Tony DiPreta, Nat Edson and Tom Massey.

Tim Tyler's Luck slowly faded away, and by the time it was canceled in 1996, it was being carried by only a single paper.

In 2016, The Library of American Comics reprinted one year of the strip (1933) as an installment in its LoAC Essentials line.
