History of Comics website
CharlieRock:
This is the best online history I have read of comic books from the Golden Age.
http://www.thecomicbooks.com/
I made mention of this in another thread but thought more about it and it should get it's own thread. This site also has a transcript of the congressional hearings to ban comics and lots of neat links.
Yoc:
Thanks for letting everyone know about this Charlie.
:)
josemas:
I started reading it but when I got to the part about the Eisner-Iger shop he mentions that Alex Toth worked for the shop. That stopped me cold. I'd never heard that before.
Has anybody else heard this anywhere else? Did I just miss something all these years or is he in error about this?
Best

darkmark (RIP):
Yeah, but 1 thing they got wrong, which we all did until the transcripts came in: Eisner didn't make any "courageous stand" and testify about Fox copying Superman.
JVJ (RIP):
I gave up on the second paragraph where he puts Al Capp at New Fun #1 and implies that it pre-dates Li'l Abner.
PLUS, he fails to credit his sources, which he is obviously misinterpreting. If this is the best you've seen CharlieRock, I ache for the history of comics.
