Here is that article you were wondering about.

The origins of the comic book are somewhat controversial and perhaps the jury is still out. So lets go back to the cartoonish broadsheets of the Middle Ages, which were parchment products, created by anonymous woodcutters. As mass circulation of these broadsheets became possible, they soon developed a market, particularly at public executions, popular events for centuries (ugh), which drew thousands of happy spectators. Many of these spectators would invest in an artist's rendering of a hanging or burning, and thus making a very lucky day for the broadsheet seller.

The broadsheet evolved into higher-level content as humor was introduced. Eventually, all types of broadsheets emerged, which were eventually bound in collections, the prototype of the modern magazine. Magazines formatted like the popular Punch, an elegant British creation, became the primary focus of documentary accounts of news and events, fiction and humor. One can see in Punch, the sophisticated evolution of a comic style, particularly in respect of the evolution of comics in Great Britain. Still and all, from an historical standpoint, the comic strip stood in the alley, waiting to be born. And then some say Great Britain's Ally Sloper's "Half Alley" was the first comic book. This was a black and white tabloid that had panels of cartoons mixed with a sliver of news; circa 1884.

Now while all this was going on in Great Britain, the United States had its own brand of evolution. Instead of magazines, US newspapers took the lead in creating the comic book industry. Newspapers, with their first steps, took their single image gags and evolved them into multi-paneled comic strips. It was during this period that William Randolph Hearst scored a knockout with the Yellow Kid, which was actually printed in yellow ink.

So where did the actual comic book begin? Some say it was with reprints of Carl Schultz' Foxy Grandpa, from 1901 to 1905. Although others say it was Great Britain's Ally Sloper's Half Alley. In 1902, Hearst published the Katzenjammer Kids and Happy Hooligan in books with cardboard covers. For a time, the Yellow Kid himself was a top contender. But it depends how rigid you are in your description of a comic book. These examples, for sure, were predecessors to the modern comic book, which exploded in the 1930's.

The Whitman Publishing Company, in 1934, became one of the pre-launchers for the modern comic book. They published forty issues of Famous Comics, which was a black and white hardcover reprint. The first regularly published comic in the more recognizable modern format though, was Famous Funnies. It featured such memorable characters as Joe Palooka, Buck Rogers and Mutt and Jeff.

Superheroes as we know them today took a strong foothold in the 1930's. In 1938, Max C. Gaines, who was one of the comic industry giants, brought "Superman" to Dell Comics publisher, Harry Donenfield. Donenfield scored the comic coup of the century when he published a story written by two teenagers, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster- and so "Superman of Metropolis" (the title of their short story they wrote in their own fanzine) was born. Superman was to set a standard for comic book heroes that persist to this day.

There is far more information in the comic dictionary we were talking about. I will dig it up and get that to you when I can.

I sent the three special editions of The Green Lantern but I did not see the fourth edition that you were looking for.  I have sent book numbers seven, eighteen, and twenty two.  I know that you really wanted number four but I do not have an extra copy of that edition.





I did have a look at some of my Justice League of America comics and I do have all the edition that you wanted.  I will consider an all out trade if you have any original Batman editions.  I am looking for issue eight, fourteen, nineteen, twenty five, and twenty six.  I would trade three of those issues for my one Green Lantern number four unless maybe you have a different trade in mind.  Let me know what you think.  I will check my box daily to see what you think.





Sorry about all the posts but I keep thinking of stuff.  I found a rare wonder women comic in my collection.  I don't collect these but I know that a lot of people do.  If you are interested I can send this one to you as well.  It is issue number 2 and it is in mint condition.  There is not a blemish on the thing........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
