Fox Features was one of the earliest comic-book publishers during the golden age of comics. Started by Victor Fox and Bob Farell in 1939, reportedly after Fox was working as an accountant for National Periodicals (DC Comics) and saw the sales figures for Action Comics #1. Fox initially hired the the Eisner-Iger studios to produce the creative content for their anthology books including: Mystery Men, Fantastic Comics and Wonderworld Comics. The latter of these titles was re-titled from Wonder Comics after National sued Fox for allegedly copying the Cover feature, Wonderman from Superman. Legendary comics creator Will Eisner, the creator of the character and his one and only (golden age) appearence, was called to testify. Eisner testified that Wonderman was an original creation but that Victor Fox had directly asked him to “Make him his own Superman” Fox lost the case and ceased publication of Wonderman. He also cut ties with the Iger-Eisner studio and hired another comics legend to edit and produce the companies creative work, Joe Simon.

The Linx National (DC) sued Victor Fox in late 1939, claiming that the character Wonderman was a direct copy of Superman. Wonderman’s creator, comics legend Will Eisner, testified that though the character was an original creation, Victor Fox had asked him to “make me my own Superman.” Hiring Joe Simon’s fledgling studio to provide content, Fox Features continued to build on the characters they had started the year before as the 1940s began. -

María José Álvarez Faedo VºBº: Oviedo, 2012 To comic book creators of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The comics medium is a very specialized area of the Arts, home to many rare and talented blooms and flowering imaginations and it breaks my heart to see so many of our best and brightest bowing down to the same market pressures which drive lowest-common-denominator blockbuster movies and television cop shows. Let's see if we can call time on this trend by demanding and creating big, wild comics which stretch our imaginations. Let's make living breathing, sprawling adventures filled with mind-blowing images of things unseen on Earth. Let's make artefacts that are not faux-games or movies but something other, something so rare and strange it might as well be a window into another universe because that's what it is.

Editor & Publisher International Year Books
Content Survey & Selective Index For Editor & Publisher International Year Books *1929-1949 Compiled by Gary M. Johnson Reference Librarian Newspaper & Current Periodical Room Serial & Government Publications Division Library of Congress 2013 This survey of the contents of the 1929-1949 Editor & Publisher International Year Books consists of two parts: a page-by-page selective transcription of the material in the Year Books and a selective index to the contents (topics, names, and titles) of the Year Books. The purpose of this document is to inform researchers about the contents of the E&P Year Books in order to help them determine if the Year Books will be useful in their work. Secondly, creating this document has helped me, a reference librarian in the Newspaper & Current Periodical Room at the Library of Congress, to learn about the Year Books so that I can provide better service to researchers. The transcript was created by examining the Year Books and recording the items on each page in page number order. Advertisements for individual newspapers and specific companies involved in the mechanical aspects of newspaper operations were not recorded in the transcript of contents or added to the index. The index (beginning on page 33) attempts to provide access to E&P Year Books by topics, names, and titles of columns, comic strips, etc., which appeared on the pages of the Year Books or were mentioned in syndicate and feature service ads. The headings are followed by references to the years and page numbers on which the heading appears. The individual Year Books have detailed indexes to their contents. -

Still suffering the aftershocks of the Great Depression despite Franklin D. Roosevelt’s progressive New Deal nos- trums—unemployment stood at 17% for 1939—Americans eyed the expanding wars in Europe and Asia nervously. Some tried to dismiss Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini as comic opera buffoons, decrying the hostilities as a “phony war” because not much had happened since the blitzkrieg dismemberment of Poland the previous September. These naysayers did not see it for what it was: the calm before the storm. Before the first year of the new decade was out, Nazi Germany seized Norway, Denmark, Belgium, the Nether- lands, and ultimately France, while attempting to bomb the United Kingdom into subjection. The British held out defiantly, and Hitler reluctantly abandoned his plans to invade England. That small victory brought no cheer to the conquered nations, where Der Führer’s relentless oppres- sion of Jews and other scapegoated minorities was in full force. Il Duce, too, continued his aggression, as Fascist Italy invaded Egypt and Greece. -
