cliffhanger at the strip’s end
Does the highlighted part mean " the first comic version of the famous story of the damsel in distress with an exciting and unexpected end" or "the first comic version of the famous story of the damsel in distress and other stories with exciting and unexpected ends"?
Context:
Charles Kahles (1878–1931) was the early pioneer of above-average heroes in comic strips. Even before his signature work Hairbreadth Harry (1906), he had created the first police comic, Clarence the Cop (1900), and the first aviation strip, Sandy Highflyer, the Airship Man (1902). Kahles relied a great deal on humor and melodrama to propel his brief plots, but he did introduce the first comic renditions of the damsel in distress and the cliffhanger at the strip’s end.
