Reading Room BASEBALL COMICS "Rube Rooky"

Is there anything Will Eisner hadn't done during his long career?
He took chances with experiments like this baseball-themed 1949 comic book...
...which predated a rush of sports-themed comics from various publishers the next year.
Unfortunately, the big problem with being first is that, often, the world isn't quite ready for you, and Baseball Comics lasted only one issue.
But it certainly wasn't for lack of quality, as this Eisner-written and penciled tale, inked by Tex Blaisdell, proves.
There's more to Rube Rooky's one shot at stardom, and we'll be running it each weekend for the next few weeks, so don't miss it!
