Since Mark did not put the actual answer here is another clue in case someone wants to continue from there.

Jim, I tend to get in a hurry and not remember NOT to use the preview images from CB+. They are lower quality for quick loading and viewing. I will try to get my pics from the actual files.  BTW: I am a proud owner of said Cisco Kid comic  ;D

And to get caught up here (Among other things, I've been installing a new garage door opener today), Narf's is Poppo #7. I got it because Mark pointed it out without naming it. So, for the rest of us...

No, Mark, the Cisco Kid was just an example to Narf about scan size/clarity issues.

Your new one is a puzzlement and I'm unlikely to discover or know what it is.

I figured that you would have gotten it with the picture of Bumpy and the Biro art

Well, you made me feel bad Jim!

So here is a nice big image that should hopefully help your predicament and there is a bit of a visual clue in there as well

I hope that "made you feel bad" is some sort of hint, Mark,
as I have no intention of doing that (or any clue of how to go about it). Actually, I'm simply not that interested or knowledgeable about comics with bad art, so if you want to beat me at this game, just keep throwing up poorly drawn work like this and it'll go right by me every time.

And it's also pretty obvious that your cheat engine is superior to all the rest of us combined. Sort of takes the fun out of it.

There have been NO verbal clues SO FAR in his one. I actually chose the cover 'cos I thought it was a bit quirky.  And do you know what I think I have done a "Captain Easy" on you again. Purely by accident. I really ought to review my choices.

Hopefully these two will help

I've looked again a bit, Mark,
and I can't see it as an Ace title, nor
Ace
Ajax
ACG
Avon
Better
if it's Canadian, I say "eh"
Centaur
Charlton
Chesler
Columbia
Comic Media
Cupples and Leon
Dell
D.S.
Eastern
Fawcett
Fox
if it's a Government Pamphlet, I say "eh, too"
Harvey
Hillman
Holyoke
I.W.
Key
Lev Gleason
ME
MLJ
Orbit
Parents
Quality
Spark
Star
Sterling
St. John
Story
Toby
Trojan
Youthful
Ziff Davis
nor Camera, Catholic, Consolidated, Crown, Cross, Croydon, Dearfield, Don Fortune, Great, Green, Lafayette, Nationwide, Premier, Leffingwell, Stanhall nor Superior.
In short, it doesn't seem to be any comic with which I'm familiar and, judging from the lack of anybody else participating, it's not something they've seen or are interested in either. Maybe it's just too tricky for me, but corner cases win the game but seem to lose the audience.

Well here is a nice big chunk. And in my defense I don't choose covers by how difficult they are. I go for things that look interesting. And in fact I have had to disregard a few I wanted to do as they were a bit off the beaten track.

Anyway as it happens, although the art may not be good, this is actually of a minor historical interest. A very early comic (second??) from an embryo company that certainly did come to employ great comic book artists. So actually if I had reviewed the comic, I probably would still have chosen it or issue #1 of the series for that reason. (But we are on "Captain Easy" territory which I also did not realize)

Lots of clues sprinkled!

Oh dear! Um ... I am trying to kill this one off.

I promise if I ever win again (which is now highly unlikely with the cheat machine retired)  I'll do a comic review before I put it up.

It is a strip reprint ...
