The story is balls to the wall bonkers, but if your dealing with imps from the 5th dimension then how Action Comics: V. 1 could it be? Despite this, Pep wills himself to fight on. As most people have already mentioned about this new series, matters DO start off with a bang and with lots of flair. Logan picks a fight with Chuck, swearing revenge after the newcomer bests him. I have nothing against him working for the military but him already having a Steel suite without bein I am really disappointed with this volume. Gee Superman Sep 29, Oliver Flores rated it it was ok.

I AM a fan of Rags Morales, but this may be my least favourite of his work to date. The second volume of Action Comics beginning with issue 1 ran from to Purposeful or not, this lack of organic emotional depth and conflict to events devastates any intuitive understanding that the reader might derive from this otherwise complex story. In past Superman tales, his superhero persona was often far more interesting than his alter-ego, but this time around, it Action Comics: V. 1 Clark Kent who really leapt off the page.

  • Committee on Evaluation of Comic Books Collection
    Mss. 126 COMMITTEE ON EVALUATION OF COMIC BOOKS COLLECTION Scope and Content: The Committee on Evaluation of Comic Books donated the comic book collection in the Rare Books & Special Collections Department of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. It contains the founder, Reverend Jesse Murrell’s, correspondence, lists and articles regarding the Committee on Evaluation of Comic Books. This committee was founded in Cincinnati in 1948 shortly after Reverend Murrell preached a scathing sermon regarding comic books in May. Reverend Jesse Murrell of Covington, Kentucky organized the Committee. Another founding member was Ernest Miller, then the associate director, later becoming the director of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. The bulk of the collection consists of over 500 comic books from 1948 to 1966 that were evaluated by the committee. In 1950 the committee’s evaluation list was published in the February and October issues of Parents’ Magazine. It was published in this magazine every year from 1950 to 1959. From 1948 to 1960 the committee produced the evaluation list at least once a year, sometimes twice. On May 21, 1970, Mr. Miller was appointed the archivist of the Committee and all materials were housed at the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Main Library. The Committee on the Evaluation of Comic Books continued to meet until 1979. “Our major purpose is to help the people formulate critical judgment as to the comics, then we try to help them buy and read selectively.” Reverend Murrell died in 1972; as did Mr. Miller. It was Mrs.

  • Advertising in American Comic Books, 1934–2014

Nous montrons que l’examen précis des tendances publicitaires amène à remettre en cause l’historiographie dominante de ce format de publication. Nous avançons que l’histoire des comic books nord-américains peut ainsi être divisée en quatre grandes périodes : 1) une période de domestication, durant laquelle les enfants étaient vus comme le lectorat privilégié des comic books; 2) une période de crise à la fin des années cinquante, causée par la perte de ce lectorat enfantin; 3) une période de transition, marquée par des publicités plus petites et moins coûteuses, visant un public mixte d’enfants et d’adultes; et enfin 4) une période d’équilibre, durant laquelle les publicités se divisent entre des marques d’envergure nationale et des publicités internes à l’éditeur. This paper draws on the study of 42,248 advertisements contained in the What Were Comics? corpus to analyze the transformation of the status of the American comic book between 1934 and 2014.

  • Operation Clean-Up'" and After: the Controversy Resolved
    Chapter 6 "'Operation Clean-Up'" and After: The Controversy Resolved On March 18, 1954, as the Senate Subcommittee to Investigate Juvenile Delinquency approached its investigation of comic books, the newsletter of the ACMP warned publishers that "activity against comic magazines seems to have become more intense in all sections of the country."1 Among over twenty incidents cited were drives to establish regulatory ordinances in Hackensack, New Jersey, and Erie, Pennsylvania; comic investigation committees in Springfield, Massachusetts, and Bentonville, Arkansas; and denunciations of comics as "'subversive'" in Newburgh, New York, and "'communistic'" by an intelligence officer at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota.2 Movements to regulate comics in Erie, Pennsylvania, and Hartford, Connecticut, were spurred by newspaper feature articles and editorials which directly preceded or accompanied the subcommittee investigation and its attendant publicity. Amazingly, the subcommittee hearings marked the introduction of many suddenly concerned observers to the world experienced by nine of every ten children and "caused the American parent to do a good deal of thinking regarding the flood of crime and horror comics now on the market . ."3 The spectacle of a Senate body which 1Senate Subcommittee, Juvenile Delinquency (Comic Books), p. 61. 2Ibid., pp. 60-61. 3U.S., Congress, Senate, Senator Hendrickson speaking on Juvenile Delinquency Trends at the Student Level, 83rd Cong., 2nd sess., June 16, 1954, Congressional Record 100:8349. 112 seriously questioned the guardians of arbiters of juvenile fantasies enraged the public where the less visible authors of fourteen years of persistent admonitions had failed. Declining sales and renewed activity aimed at controlling or abolishing comics, together with the often grim resolve displayed by the Senate Subcommittee, finally convinced many of the leading publishers that cooperative action was again imperative.
