He's NOT Your Father's Perry Mason...

...but he is your grandfather's!
...as these 1940s graphic adaptations of two of Erle Stanley Gardner's novels show!
Note: these are reformattings of the Perry Mason newspaper comic strip!
The new HBO series draws on several sources including the early novels, the newspaper comic strip, a six-film 1930s b-movie series adapting the books, and a long-running 1940s-50s radio show!
Trivia: the serialized radio show spawned a live daytime TV-show spinoff which Gardner disapproved of, so the character of Mason was replaced by Mike Karr and the show premiered as the soap-opera The Edge of Night (1956-1980)!
You can read both of the never-reprinted 1940s comics after the July 4th Weekend as part of our usual Summer Blogathon, spread out between this blog and "brother" RetroBlog Crime & Punishment!
