About the
book
The Adventures of Harold Teen is a compact 1934 edition of Carl Ed’s popular newspaper comic-strip adventures, issued by Cupples & Leon as part of the Treasure Box of Famous Comics collection.
The volume is an abridged edition of the earlier 1931 Cupples & Leon book. That original collection follows Harold Teen and his friend Poison Pembrooke during a humorous trip to Florida, and the 1934 edition presents a shortened selection derived from the earlier material.
Through sequential comic-strip episodes, Harold and his companions encounter youthful schemes, misunderstandings, social complications, travel adventures, and the everyday comic difficulties characteristic of Carl Ed’s work.
Its shorter format preserves the energetic humor and distinctive portrayal of teenage life that made Harold Teen a recognizable part of American newspaper comics during the early twentieth century.
