HOW TO DRAW THE NEWSPAPER
ADVENTURE STRIP
Biographical History

My father, cartoonist Charles Flanders (1907-1973) began his career as a commercial artist in Buffalo, NY. In 1928 he moved to New York City where he met my mother, Lina Jane Walker, the love of his life. He worked for an advertising agency and then as a magazine illustrator before being hired by King Features Syndicate in 1930. For King Features, my father worked on several preexisting strips including Tim Tyler's Luck and Bringing Up Father. In the mid-1930s he created comic adaptations of Ivanhoe and Treasure Island for Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson's New Fun Comics as well as an original strip, Sandra of the Secret Service.
