For the last three weeks, we have published the preceding installments of The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck, which is recognized as the earliest American comic book. This week brings us to the concluding chapter.

This material was recently reprinted in Italy, in a limited edition of 1,000, although the original comic dates to 1842. It was created by artist Rodolphe Töpffer.

Comics dealer and historian Robert Beerbohm, who brought Obadiah's exploits to modern fame, and who contributed last week's text accompaniment, has received 300 copies of the limited edition and is making them available to interested collectors.

Those interested in purchasing a copy may contact him at the following address:
