Did you know that beginning on Christmas Eve, 1945, thirty-five newspapers carried a syndicated #comics condensation of #AynRand’s bestseller #TheFountainhead?

Produced by the legendary #KingFeaturesSyndicate, the strip ran six days a week across thirty installments. The 754-page #novel was condensed to 12,500 words, with #HowardRoark’s courtroom speech cut by almost 90% by Rand herself to occupy installment #28.
