Henry Martin's nationally-syndicated panel cartoon Good News/Bad News was collected in book form in 1977. Less well-known is his panel strip The Philadelphians which ran in the Philadelphia Inquirer. An original cartoon from 1988 presents a military briefing on "this week's trouble spots." It was first offered on eBay in 2016 priced at $1,295. It remains unsold on the auction site where the price has since been reduced by $500.
