Information
Rip Kirby is a comic strip featuring the adventures
of the eponymous lead character, a private
detective created by Alex Raymond in 1946,
displaying the talents of more than
a dozen writers and illustrators,
the strip had a run spanning five decades,

after World War II, Raymond did not
return to work on any of his previous
successful comic strips (Flash Gordon,
Jungle Jim, Secret Agent X-9)
but instead began work on a new strip
in which ex-Marine Rip Kirby returns
from World War II and goes to work
as a private detective, sometimes
accompanied by his girlfriend,
fashion model Judith Lynne "Honey" Dorian,
her given name and nickname were borrowed
from the names of Raymond's three daughters

Rip Kirby was based on the suggestion
by King Features editor Ward Greene
that Raymond try a new "detective-type"
strip, first published on March 4, 1946
in French, Rip Kirby was mostly published
by the Glenat Edition (1977-1986)
