I like looking at the pictures in the scenes in comic books
So do I. What kind of comics are you into? I've always wanted to know some history behind them too.
Some existed back in the 18th century in Japan and Europe, they did not become popular in the US until the 1930s
Damn that's so much longer ago than I thought. What were some of the earliest US comics to become popular?
The first one was called Famous Funnies in 1933 and was a reprint of some newspaper comic strips
I thought comic books were not nearly that old! What other popular ones do you know of?
The Superman character was created in 1933.
Superman was created back then too? Cool! How long did it take for that comic to become the sensation that it became?
It was sold to Action Comics and became well known starting in 1938
