A
comic book story of the life and racing career of Jimmy Murphy.
The story appeared in the late 1940s and was in a comic book
directed to young Catholic boys. Jimmy’s racing is
highlighted, but it also talks about him being an alter boy,
getting the last rites in Syracuse and the formation of a
Knights of Columbus chapter in Monterey Park in Los Angeles
named after him. It is still functioning as the Jimmy Murphy
chapter of the Knights of Columbus. It is over the top as a
period piece and I am not aware that any other driver was
featured in a comic book. Available on CdROM for $14.95 plus $4.00 shipping and handling. Available on CdROM for $14.95 plus $4.00 shipping and handling. Order by mail on the provided form or call toll free at 866-600-6973. |
