Uploaded 5 GE Adventures in Science educational comics of the 1940s and 50s, scans by Ger Apeldoorn, edits by me.
A little Internet research found another file on CB+ ( The Story Of Light 1957] APG-17-7) that I will upload later.
The GE webpages have information and links to several missing books from the series -
General Electric -
ge-comics-place-space/ . GE has revised the originals and have several reissues and new comics linked on the above pages.
I standardized the file names using the year date and APG/PRD numbers in the file name to help with identifying reissued books that had either different story, different art or both. The GE site stated there were 6 original issues by George Roussos ( Batman/ Marvel) but there may be more because there are at least three comics mentioned on the GE website,which are missing from DCM. Did George Roussos do the reissues?
1- Adventures in to the Future – 1952
2-More Power to America Special – 1950
3- The Littlest Giant- ??
Reissues with different art and little changes in the story lines add to the difficulty of identifying different comics. Inside the Atom ( 1948 and 1955) and Adventures in Electricity (1946 and 1950) are two examples of reissues with changes.
The comics were published by General Comics Inc (1948 – 1950) and Pictorial Media ( 1955 – 1959) and were distributed in Canada, maybe other venues as well. This is more information than most would want.
Only a completest would worry about different versions, but that's the fun of research .. right? I hope this will stimulate more research related to a small part of comic history.
