	Sandman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The sandman is also a symbol of the passage of time to death; he is sometimes depicted as the grim reaper holding an hourglass and scythe.
		Marvel Comics – The Sandman is a former supervillain who can transform his body into sand, and was an enemy of Spider-Man.
		Howard Simms, also known as Sandman, was a tap dancer in vaudeville, who acquired his name from the sand he sprinkled on the floor to amplify the sound of his steps when he danced.

	Fredric Wertham
		Latterday American comics fans, who look back at the anti-comics crusade with fear and loathing, and fret nervously over whether it might happen again, tend to ignore the point that comics publishers of the early '50s virtually cut their own throats.
		Comic books were still relatively mild in 1947 when Dr. Wertham began his crusade, but some publishers lost all restraint into the 1950s, running increasingly violent and gory stories that only confirmed everything he said.
		He seemed to only reluctantly acknowledge comic books and science fiction as the source of fanzines and fandom, and gave a couple of the most skewed capsule histories of the genres I've ever seen, concentrating on their anti-war and non-violent aspects.

	EC Comics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The firm was a publisher of comic books specializing in crime, horror, war, and science-fiction comics from the 1940s through the 1950s.
		After the comic book industry imploded during the 1950s in the wake of the hysteria caused by Dr. Frederick Wertham's book Seduction of the Innocent (and, just as important, a shakeup in the distribution companies who sold comic books and pulp magazines in America), most of EC Comics' titles were cancelled.
		Comics, especially the crime/horror titles pioneered by EC, were not lacking in gruesome images; Wertham reproduced these extensively, pointing out what he saw as recurring morbid themes such as "injury to the eye".

		DC ComicsвЂ™ first titles were humor comics, with New Fun Comics #1 being published in February 1935 and New Comics #1 being published in December 1935.
		New humor comics continued to be published during this period, though, and were either funny animal cartoon comics which had been popularised as a result of the advent of the cartoon movie or were standard funnies like those which had originated from the newspaper strips.
		Marvel Comics had produced many teen humor comics from the 1940s until the end of the Golden Age.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Dell Comics
		The reason this weekly isn't listed in most guides as the first comic book is probably because it was published as a tabloid, rather than the size of a modern comic book.
		By the early 1940s, most comics publishers had jumped on the superhero bandwagon — but Dell found its niche in licensed properties, many of them aimed at younger readers.
		Animal Comics, where Walt Kelly's Pogo got its start, was the first comic book to specialize in that genre, using characters that had all been created especially for comic books.

	Timely Comics When Marvel was Golden
		In the 1940s Marvel Comics weren’t Marvel Comics.
		They were called Timely Comics, and by and large, their line was very forgettable.
		Sure the comic has a goofy premise – a plane crashes into a mysterious city in the clouds, inhabited by a race of humans evolved from birds.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Harvey Comics
		In the early 1940s, Harvey Comics (founded by brothers Leon, Robert and Alfred Harvey) was a very small, but otherwise very typical comic book publisher.
		Speed was a typical comic of the time, an anthology title headed up by superheroes — in this case, Shock Gibson, Captain Freedom (a patriotic type like Captain America or The Shield), and others equally memorable.
		By the 1980s, comic book sales in general were down, especially for publishers that didn't have well established superheroes on the market.

		Among his recent freelance comic book projects are inks on Heroes Vs. Hitler and The Eye for Hamster Press, and the Star Wars: Tales Of The Jedi mini-series at Dark Horse.

	Jeff Williams - COMICS: A TOOL OF SUBVERSION? - JCJPC - Volume 2, Issue 6
		As the two comics that were the least subversive were published by companies that comprise a combined total of 71.1 percent of the market, it would seem to be safe to conclude that most comics are not subversive.
		Annual sales of comics have reached $700 million (with current predictions of one billion dollars for 1994), which is a 500 percent increase from 1980 (Jensen, 1993:33).
		Some 800 titles are published a year and though the comic book market has not regained the household penetration rate of 90 percent from the 1940s, comics can be found in 50 percent of today's households, with signs of a steady increase apparent (Bianchi, 1993:108).

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Timely Comics and Atlas Comics
		Many writers about comic books apply the name to everything published by that outfit during the 1940s, despite the fact that it was no more prominent than any other "company name" Goodman used back then.
		Apparently, back in the 1960s, when comic book historical research was in its infancy, a fan got hold of a Goodman-published comic book that happened to have come out during the single quarter of 1942 in which the name "Timely Comics" was used.
		Of course, these labels serve the purpose of communication — "Timely" equals Marvel Comics of the 1940s; "Atlas" equals Marvel Comics of the 1950s; and "Marvel" equals Marvel Comics from the '60s on.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Mighty Crusaders
		Since they were touching on all the genre's cliches of the time, naturally, within a few months the heroes got together to form their own version of Marvel's Avengers.
		In 1983, Archie Comics launched a new superhero line — this one, called "Red Circle Comics", along more traditional lines — and a new version of The Mighty Crusaders was part of it.
		In 1991-92, when DC Comics licensed the Archie superheroes for its "!mpact Comics" imprint, DC's versions of the characters briefly formed a team of their own.

	Salon.com Books \| "Comic Book Nation" by Bradford W. Wright
		Bradford W. Wright's "Comic Book Nation: The Transformation of Youth Culture in America" contains no dominant hero, no good vs. evil subplot and a genuine disdain for the melodramatic mood that has made comics and their characters so popular since the 1930s.
		Tracing the industry's rise, Wright gives comics the scholarly attention they deserve, diligently filling in the back story of a medium that has both reflected and shaped American values for generations.
		Comics contained no fl superheroes until the '60s, few women who didn't need a good man and, during the '40s, no Asian character who wasn't a "slimy Jap" or a "yellow dog." Americans bought them anyway.

	Syllabus: History of Japanese Comics 1
		"What are comics?" You will spend four years pursuing this most simple and fundamental question through various lecture courses.
		In the first half of this course, we will explore the basic components of comics as seen in such ancient societies as those of the Aztecs, Egyptians, and Romans.
		In the latter half of the course, we will narrow our focus to postwar Japanese comics, tracing that history while actually reading comics produced from the appearance of TEZUKA Osamu to the late 1960s.

		It may be hard to believe now, but once upon a time, back in the 1940s, Marvel Comics (then known as, among other things, Timely Comics), had a flourishing line of superhero comics.
		If this is hard to believe, or is news to you, it's because Marvel has not, by and large, paid much attention to its heroes from the 1940s.
		What I've included here is their name, their appearances in the Golden Age, their appearances in the Modern era, their origin and powers, and, where applicable, their modern continuity and status in current Marvel comics and continuity.
