POPULAR COMICS "Doctor Bobbs Battles the Bubonic Plague" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Heroic Doctors...

...despite the foolishness of using himself as a guinea pig, Dr Bobbs has taken the stricken Dr Higgans' work and completed it!

Huzzah!

To provide closure to this plotline, here's the opening page of the next chapter...

Interesting how the kid refers to her as "Miss Luana", not "Doctor Luana" or "Doctor Higgans"!

Does Doctor Luana Higgans ever re-appear?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Unlike most of his comic contemporaries, Dr Bobbs never had a b-movie, a radio series, or even a Big Little Book!

Besides the short run in Dell's Popular Comics anthology title from which this continuity wais re-presented, the good doctor had a one-shot in Dell's Four Color Comics series.

But, since the strip ended in 1949, he hasn't been seen by the public...until now!

POPULAR COMICS "Doctor Bobbs Battles the Bubonic Plague" Part 1

One of the first "socially relevant" medical-themed comic strips... 

 ...was created by writer Elliot Caplan (brother of Lil' Abner creator Al Capp) and illustrator Jim McArdle in 1940.

The strip was reprinted in comic book format a year or two after appearing in newspapers, combining newly-colored dailies (originally in black and white) with Sunday color strips.

(This was a popular method of reprinting used by almost every strip from Dick Tracy to Blondie to Flash Gordon!)

This chapter from Dell's Popular Comics #94 (1943) introduces the strip's second storyline...
