The Popular 2nd series St. Frank's stories (1928-1929)


Nugget

Nelson Lee

1915


The Popular's main source of stories were reprints from other Amalgamated Press story papers of earlier years, primarily the Magnet, Gem and Boy's Friend. It also published some original stories, most notably of the Rio Kid. In 1928-1929 it reprinted a number of the classic St. Frank's series from the halcyon days of the "Old Series" of the Nelson Lee Library from 1918 & 1919.
