I love those pre-Batman Detective Comics covers.

The Skipper #4 (1930, D.C. Thomson & Co., artist unknown) That's an excellent cover but The Skipper was a "story paper" (text with some illustrations) rather than a comic book.

Action #1 is the start of the Golden Age, but it was far from the first Comic Book. So for this contest, post a cover dated before June 1938. I think we can be a little lax about what we can accept as a comic. Here is Famous Funnies #1, 1933 usually considered the first book that we recognize as what we think of as Comic Books.
For this contest only, according to the OP, that's fine. See bolded text. -M

Text stories with some illustrations are not graphic story telling and can't be considered comic books. The Pulps would be out. So I don't think Skipper fits.

The Skipper #4 (1930, D.C. Thomson & Co., artist unknown) I wasn't able to find any artist identification for this magnificent cover, but I suspect it may have been done by a British commercial artist, especially given its similarity to the 'The Winner BP' advertising signs from 1926: Surviving examples of these enamel signs are now valuable collectors items. Does this have any graphic story telling? Like paneled pages or stories told by art work? If not, it's not a comic book.

I was under the impression the magazine was a mixture of text and comic strips, but further research indicates it may have just been illustrated text stories.
In the interests of avoiding controversy, I have removed it and will find something else.
