Hi Gang,
There's a nice new comics entry on Salon called 'An inside look at comic books' - CLICK HERE (http://www.salon.com/life/feature/2011/09/01/rare_cartoons_imprint/index.html) well worth looking at for us history buffs.

"Three articles from the '30s and '40s give a unique glimpse of the history of the industry."

The links are in the body of the story but for those in a hurry or that missed them here you go with thanks to Salon and Imprint for sharing these.
