TRAMP DOCTOR "Stranded on Gorbu"

This never-reprinted series was one of the most unusual medical comic strips...

...since it involved, among other things, alcoholism and interracial romantic relationships!

The only way Dell got away with some of the themes of this strip was that they weren't a participant the the Comics Code Authority, which forbade showing such things until their first major revision in 1971!

This tale from Dell's Linda Lark Registered Nurse #2 (1962) was illustrated by John Tartaglione, who also drew the book's main strip, Linda Lark!

Though best-known as an inker on a number of Marvel's Silver Age books, including The X-Men, Tartaglione was a decent, though slow, penciler, which he did for both Dell and George A Pflaum's Treasure Chest.

He also pencilled Marvel's occasional religious-themed comics, including Life of Pope John Paul II!

Dr McCutchin's saga continued until the cancellation of the book with #8.

You'll be seeing the rest of the tales once a month since this series replaces Dr Pat (which ends next month) as our ongoing feature!
