Now added one week of the Kirby strips from 1940.02.12 to 1940.02.17 from Heritage Auction archives.
Hi Gang, Here are a selection of Blue Beetle newspaper strips bought and scanned by our own Rangerhouse for sharing. These are from original source - The Boston Evening Transcript. Sadly most of these are from just after Jack Kirby left the strip to be replace by Louis Cazaneuve.
JonTheScanner found the final strip from the East St Louis Journal (that's IL and not MO BTW) from Sep 27th 1940 in Newspaper Archives.
To read an excellent write-up on the strip be sure to check Christopher Irving's blog here - http://www.nycgraphicnovelists.com/2010/02/blue-beetle-comic-strip-kirbys-intro-to.html

We would love to add more to this collection but PLEASE, nothing from either of Greg Theakston's COMIC STRIP KIRBY collections or any other modern reprints.
Meanwhile, enjoy this quick look at the rare Blue Beetle comic strip,
