Information
Rip Kirby is a comic strip featuring the adventures
of the eponymous lead character,
a private detective created by Alex Raymond in 1946,
displaying the talents of more than a dozen writers and illustrators,
the strip had a run spanning five decades,

after World War II, Raymond did not return to work
on any of his previous successful comic strips
(Flash Gordon, Jungle Jim, Secret Agent X-9)
but instead began work on a new strip
in which ex-Marine Rip Kirby returns from World War II
and goes to work as a private detective, sometimes accompanied
by his girlfriend, fashion model Judith Lynne "Honey" Dorian,
her given name and nickname were borrowed
from the names of Raymond's three daughters
Rip Kirby was based on the suggestion by King Features editor Ward Greene
that Raymond try a "detective-type" strip,
first published on March 4, 1946
in French, Rip Kirby was mostly published by the Glenat Edition
