Serials, 1924-2007
The majority of the serials contain cover stories and full-length articles about George or Ira Gershwin. Significant items include several early issues of Stage (1933–1939), as well as an issue of True Comics (1945) with a six-page comic strip about George Gershwin’s life and legacy as an American composer that references his associations with Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Al Jolson, and Paul Whiteman. An issue of Amerika (1964) with an article about George is also noteworthy; the United States Department of State published it for distribution in the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Ira Gershwin’s essay “Words” is also included in a 1964 issue of Hammond Times.
