content: Kreigh Collins (1908-1974) began his career as an illustrator for magazines in the 1930s. In 1950, along with writer R. R. Winterbotham, Collins debuted his most popular work, the newspaper strip <i>Kevin the Bold.</i>
label: Description (Brief)
content: <i>Kevin the Bold</i> (1950-1968) was a comic strip whose star originally appeared as a supporting character in a strip called <i>Mitzi McCoy,</i> first published in 1948. The original strip focused on the escapades of a 20th-century socialite and heiress. When she met her 15th-century ancestor, Kevin, he became the new star and the strip was renamed for him. Kevin, originally presented as an Irish shepard, eventually becomes something of an errand boy for King Henry VIII. In 1968 Kevin was killed in a sailing accident and the strip’s name and focus changed again, this time to the name <i>Up Anchor,</i> set in contemporary times.
