Comics: Jack Kirby’s “Facts” You Haven’t Seen

August 28 would have been Kirby’s 100th birthday.

“Facts You Never Knew” was a strip created by cartoonist H.T. Elmo (1903–1992). He is profiled here. The strip was copyrighted on March 20, 1936 and Elmo used the pseudonym Bob Dart. “Facts You Never Knew” was drawn by at least three artists: Elmo, Jack Kirby and an unidentified artist, possibly Irv Tirman.

In 1935 Elmo copyrighted five strips, “Detective Riley”, “Goofus Family”, “Little Buddy”, “Dash Dixon”, and “Laughs from the Day's News!” “Your Health Comes First!!!” was copyrighted a day ahead of “Facts You Never Knew”. All of the strips were distributed through Elmo’s Lincoln Newspaper Features which was based in New York City. 

All of the strips were numbered. The lowest number I’ve found for “Facts You Never Knew” is 58 but it was preceded by an unnumbered strip that was published in the weekly newspaper The Attica News (Attica, New York), March 12, 1936; number 58 appeared the following week. The unnumbered “Facts You Never Knew”, signed by Lawrence in the third panel, appeared with three other Lincoln Newspaper Features strips: “Dash Dixon”, “Little Buddy” and “Detective Riley”, all numbered 57. Presumably Elmo created the pseudonyms Bob Dart and Lawrence.

The Medina Tribune (Medina, New York) also published “Facts You Never Knew” and other Lincoln Newspaper Features strips. The unnumbered “Facts You Never Knew” appeared May 28, 1936 along with “The Goofus Family”, number 57, and “Little Buddy”, number 61. Although the strips were numbered they sometimes appeared out of numerical order or not at all due to space limitations or holidays. It’s not clear if the first 56 strips of “Facts You Never Knew” exist or were renumbered.  When “Facts You Never Knew” debuted, Elmo may have started the numbering to match the other titles.

The highest number I’ve found for “Facts You Never Knew” is 552 which appeared in Fords Beacon (New Jersey), August 9, 1945. Number 552 appeared first as 268 then 401. On August 16 and 23, and September 6, 1945, Fords Beacon printed a few more “Facts You Never Knew” that may have been numbers 553, 554 and 556. The Independent-Leader also published possible strip numbers 554 and 555 on August 23 and 30, 1945. The numbers on these strips were obscured or missing. Elmo reused many of the strips once and sometimes twice.

The following newspapers published significant numbers of “Facts You Never Knew” although there were gaps in each run.

Attica News, numbers 57 to 448
Fords Beacon, numbers 69 to 556(?)
Independent-Leader, numbers 361 to 555(?)
Medina Tribune, numbers 57 to 322
San Juan Record, numbers 93 to 196
The Wave, numbers 165 to 327

I believe Kirby’s first “Facts You Never Knew” was number 77 that was used again as number 147. Number 274 was Kirby’s last “Facts You Never Knew” and it reappeared as numbers 406 and 552. Kirby’s run was interrupted several times with strips by Elmo.

Greg Theakston wrote about “Facts You Never Knew” in his books The Complete Jack Kirby, Volume One, 1917–1940 (1997) and The Comic Strip Jack Kirby (2006). Here are the strips in The Complete Jack Kirby, Volume One, 1917–1940; I added keywords to help identify each strip.

82 Melted Butter; England; Fingers; Monograms
86 Egyptians; Mothers; New Zealand; Salt
221 Beggar; Jimmy Dorsey; Lightning; Photomania
253 Lammergeier; Apicius; Portugal; Frank Gilbert

On page 31 is a sidebar “Kirby or Not Kirby? That is the Question” with the strip titled “Curiosities and Oddities”, by Barton, which appeared in the Putnam County News, April 15, 1937. Theakston said he believed “Curiosities and Oddities” was a “lost” Kirby feature. My research found this strip was “Facts You Never Knew” number 64 in the Attica News, April 30, 1936. The strip was signed Lawrence in the Attica News but unsigned and unnumbered in the Putnam County News. Apparently Elmo resold the strip under a different title and artist. Also the “Curiosities and Oddities” art looks more like Elmo than Kirby.

Theakston wrote that Kirby’s mother saved proofs and clippings of her son’s strips and panels in a scrapbook. Theakston did not say how many strips of “Facts You Never Knew” were in the scrapbook. Apparently the scrapbook included strips by Elmo.

These are the “Facts You Never Knew” strips in The Comic Strip Jack Kirby.

82 Melted Butter; England; Fingers; Monograms
85 Chrysanthemum; Peter the Great; Evil Eye; Monte Carlo
87 Invitation Cards; Passports; Mah Jong; Persia
91 Raw Silk; Hair; Lead; Fan
95 Congo; Letter; Sweat; Scalps
97 Phoenician; Tatooed [sic]; Creoles; Handball
108 Minks; Coffee; Napoleon; Copper; Cotton
221 Beggar; Jimmy Dorsey; Lightning; Photomania
226 Martin Benson; Jacques Cartier; Stowaways; Ostriches
251 Emperor Claudius; Beau Brummell; Cardinal Richelieu; Papuans

Theakston said Kirby used the pseudonym Lawrence on the panel “Laughs from the Day’s News”. Panels number 79 (signed) and 88 (unsigned) were included in the first volume of The Complete Jack Kirby. Numbers 79, 87 (unsigned) and 88 (shown twice) appeared in The Comic Strip Jack Kirby. It’s not clear who came up with the pseudonym.

Theakston noted that Kirby also lettered his work. That observation was helpful in identifying strips by Kirby or with Kirby art.

An introduction to Elmo’s drawing style is necessary because his art should not be mistaken for early Kirby work. The following samples of Elmo’s work were found in the Street & Smith movie magazine Picture Play. He produced at least six installments of “Did You Know That” in these issues: November 1932 (below); December 1932 (below); January 1933 (below); February 1933; April 1933; and May 1933. 

These samples are representative of Elmo’s drawing and lettering style. He was more adept at humorous than realistic drawings. Below are Elmo’s signature from 1933 (“Did You Know That”), 1936 (“Little Buddy”) and 1937 (“Detective Riley”). This signature appeared on some “Facts You Never Knew” strips. Kirby signed some of his strips as Elmo and the signature was different.

There are strips with both Kirby and Elmo art and it’s not clear how this happened. Did Elmo and Kirby collaborate? Did Elmo cut apart some Kirby strips? Also, there are a few panels with Elmo art and Kirby lettering. Did Elmo ink or redraw Kirby’s work?

I have posted the strips, that I believe, are by Kirby in total or in part. The reprinted strips are included as well.

What follows is an annotated list of “Facts You Never Knew” with links to the newspapers Fords Beacon, Independent-Leader, Medina Tribune and San Juan Record. Images from the Attica News and The Wave are from the Old Fulton New York Postcards website. In addition to “Facts You Never Knew”, some newspapers had the Kirby panels “Laughs from the Day's News!”, “Your Health Comes First!!!” and/or “Our Puzzle Corner” on the same page.

The Attica News printed this advertisement on March 5, 1936.

Here are “Facts You Never Knew” numbers 57 to 69. Numbers 58 and 59 were signed Dart which was Elmo’s pseudonym. Numbers 60 and 63 were unsigned but resemble the art in numbers 61, 62 and 64 to 68 which were signed Lawrence. Beginning with number 69, the art was signed Elmo and had his byline.
