Mystery stories with a funny twist! See what copies that are floating around are selling for by using our online price guide!
Amazing Mystery Funnies was a comic series released in August 1938, which ran until September 1940. The issues featured characters such as Fantoman, the Inner Circle, Jon Linton, Larry Kane, Space Patrol and Lieutenant Lank, amongst others.
The genre was highly enjoyed, as it featured mystery stories but always with a funny tone, so the issues wouldn’t be categorized as horror/mystery comics.
After a 2-year run, the series was canceled due to internal publisher problems.
