Virginia Krausmann

When Dorothy Urfer ended her run on Annibelle in 1936, the Newspaper Enterprise Association needed another artist to continue their popular title. They turned to staff-artist Virginia Krausmann to carry the torch. Kraussmann did so successfully until its run finally ended on Oct.15, 1939. The NEA would turn to her again when Ethel Hays left, and they needed someone to bring back the strip Marianne. Krausmann again stepped in to handle the artwork until it too ended in 1939.

Taking another page from Urfer’s book, Krausmann too left comics soon afterward to pursue wedded bliss.
