Here’s issue number 10 of Fleischer’s Animated News (September 1935), with cover art by Erich Schenk, who gives us an insight into the Fleischer background department in this edition.

Among its other highlights:

• Tintype bios about Lou Fleischer, Vera Coleman, and Larry Lippman

• Gag cartoons by Ben Solomon, Hal Seeger (now an in-betweener at the studio), Gilbert Fox (another Fleischerite who later worked for DC Comics), and Dave Tendlar.

• An early look at Sindbad the Sailor (brandishing a knife) in “The Animator’s Nightmare.”

• The answer to how Popeye lost his eye!

Thanks to Jerry Beck and Bob Jaques for sharing these rare production materials.
