he or she died — was discovered by a team of researchers
led by archaeologist Yomira Huamán (below).

On April 25, 1917, jazz legend Ella Fitzgerald is born in Newport

This is a rare Roy Rogers first cover photo four – color Dell comic book, #38 – 1944, in good condition.

Dell Comics was the comic book publishing arm of Dell
Publishing, which got its start in pulp magazines.

Its first title was The Funnies (1929), described by the
Library of Congress as "a short-lived newspaper tabloid
insert" rather than a comic book. Comics historian Ron
Goulart (below) describes the 16-page, four-color,
newsprint periodical as "more a Sunday comic section
without the rest of the newspaper than a true comic book.
