		It ran for 102 issues from April 1939 to October 1948, at which time it was renamed All-American Western (this was the time that most superhero comics went out of business or began to produce fare that they or the public considered more wholesome).
		The title was purchased by National Periodicals (DC Comics) in the late 1940s, and all its creations along with it.

		Masters of American Comics is co-curated by scholars John Carlin and Brian Walker, and is coordinated by MOCA Assistant Curator Michael Darling and Hammer Museum Deputy Director of Collections and Director of the Grunwald Center Cynthia Burlingham.

	American comics
		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.
		These comics are often the produced by a single person, as opposed to mainstream comics, which are usually produced by a team including a writer, a penciler, an inker, a letterer, and an editor.
		The initial wave of underground comics was written by and for the 1960s counter-culture and psychedelic movement, and a number of independent comics of this era were humorous (and unquestionably adult-oriented) stories about hippies and rebels who enjoyed the freedom of drugs, while putting up with persecution by evil police officers.

	The Comics Journal: Essays
		For years, readers and producers of domestic comics have slowly settled into opposing camps, with superhero comics on one side and art-comics on the other, and both sides settled in to what can only be described as a tiny Nerd Culture War.
		While American youth-oriented comics are by and large trapped in the clutches of the One True Genre, manga offers a stunning variety of story-forms that are likely to pique your interest regardless of what kinds of stories you like: action, mystery, horror, fantasy, crime, historical epics, romance, sports, comedy, gothic, school drama...
		DC Comics came close when they unexpectedly struck gold with Neil Gaiman's Sandman, and to their immense credit they allowed him to close the series with an actual, conclusive ending when he decided that he was done.

		While American comics are becoming more and more diverse, that diversity goes unnoticed because we're still fighting for legitimacy in the art world.

	Je t'aime... moi non plus: Or: Love to hate you: the strange affair between French and American comics - PopMatters ...
		In a move fueled by nationalist protectionism and conservatism (most French comics at the time were produced by Catholic institutions), France banned any comics of American origin from publication in France.
		Thus, most French comics readers (and there were quite a lot of them then) were effectively shielded from all developments in American comics, yet grew up with Mickey, Donald, Picsou (Uncle Scrooge) and Dingo (Goofy).
		While the US comics industry was going through its period of extreme mainstream success, BD's were struggling to keep the attention of a new generation raised on computer games and to fend off the invasion of their local market by cheaper Japanese manga.

		Comic strips and comic books were among the most popular and influential forms of mass media in 20thcentury America.
		The comic book first began as a way to print existing newspaper comics, then subsequently established the mass popularity of superheroes in the 1940s and 1950s before it matured as a vehicle for independent personal expression in the underground comic books and graphic novels of the 1960s.
		Masters of American Comics convincingly positions the genre of comics into the history of art and is destined to become a classic text for years to come.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: American Splendor
		Like most Americans of his generation, Harvey Pekar read comic books as a child, but set them aside when he grew up.
		Pekar saw Crumb's work on Fritz the Cat and other early creations, and came to realize that comics could be more than just children's literature.
		Despite quarreling on the air with Letterman about the show's corporate masters, he was invited back repeatedly for the next two years, after which Letterman, apparently having had enough of the prickly writer, banished him from the show forever.

		In All-American Comics #20, November 1940, Ma Hunkel donned her famous saucepan to become The Red Tornado for the first time.
		The Red Tornado never appeared in another issue of All-Star Comics and from all appearance she was not considered a member of the JSA during the Golden Age.

	All-American Comics - Articles
		The easiest way to start collecting comics is to choose a character, characters, or character group (Avengers and Various Members, JLA and Various Members, Batman Family, etc.) or your favorite company (Marvel, DC, etc.) and start buying the new adventures of the book(s) you enjoy off the new comic racks each week.
		The most fun and most satisfying way to collect comics is to collect backwards (in the ‘best condition’ available) from the current issue of a title to a predetermined starting point.
		Action Comics #400 to 583, DC Presents (Superman Team-Ups) #1-97, World’s Finest (Superman/Batman stories) #200-323 and 70’s issues of Superboy also fall into this more extensive collection, and most books can be found in the $3-$10 range.

		In his introduction, Vasques complains that comics are still, in Brazil, considered things for children, whereas he sees them as one of the most sophisticated forms of narrative.

	Amazon.com: American Splendor Presents: Bob & Harv's Comics: Books: Harvey Pekar,R. Crumb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Pekar's American Splendor is hands down the best adult comic book and maybe the best comic book, period, in the U.S. It is full of the adventures of Pekar himself--a genuine working-class intellectual, a clerk in a government hospital who on the side writes about jazz, the comics, and authors whose work deserves renewed attention.
		American Splendor generally features multiple comic artists, but this collection is comprised entirely of stories illustrated by Crumb.
		American Splendor fans should realize that much, if not all, of this material appears elsewhere in The Complete Crumb Comics and in the now out-of-print American Splendor Anthologies.

		Green Lantern's last appearance was in "All-Star Comics" (the home of the Justice Society) in issue #57 published in 1951.

	JSA Members: Green Lantern
		Throughout the war, Green Lantern was prevented from entering Axis-held territory by a "Sphere of Influence" generated from spells cast with the Holy Grail and Spear of Destiny (All-Star Squadron #4).
		The Harlequin eventually used her criminal connections to oppose the criminal underworld from within, and her deception was effective enough to win her an invitation to the Injustice Society of the World, a group dedicated to the destruction of the JSA (All-Star Comics #41).
		The Icicle proved to be one of the Green Lantern's most persistent adversaries, both alone (All-American Comics #90, 92) and as a member of the Injustice Society of the World (All-Star Comics #41).

	JSA Members: Doctor Mid-Nite
		A recurring foe was Doctor Light, a scientist with a rather odd appearance (All-American Comics #82, 89, 91) who countered Mid-Nite's science with science of his own.
		As McNider, Mid-Nite largely abandoned his writing as his medical research contributions reached a prominence they had originally held before his career as a mystery-man. He particularly excelled at optics research as he tried to apply the work on his own blindness to blindness in general.
		Doctor Mid-Nite was an active member of the JSA during its last case in 1951 (Adventure Comics #466).

		YA-- This extensive guide focuses on comic heroes and villains; the creators, artists, and writers of comic strips and comic books; and the publishers and syndicates of the comics industry.
		Reference works on comic art are not rare (the most recent being Denis Gifford's American Comic Strip Collections, 1884-1939: The Evolutionary Era, LJ 9/15/90), but ones of this scope are.
		Unfortunately, this work promises far more than it could possibly deliver; though it covers the most visible aspects of American comic book and strip development, it is not close to complete.

		Above are the words, "Raise your standard of leaving." The manipulation is achieved at the lexcial level, the sound level, and the idiomatic level.
		At the syntactic level, the viewer/reader is impressed with the message that tells him/her by means of an imperative sentence that purchase of the Escort will lead, in some mysterious way, to the American dream of a "hotter" car and, therefore, a better life.
		At a morphological level, a type of manipulation is the pairing of a morpheme with a nongrammatical counterpart or the creation of a pseudo-morpheme.

	R. F. Outcault, The Father of the American Sunday Comics
		The answer is that he was the first successful comic strip character to achieve a popularity so great that he not only increased the sales of newspapers carrying him, but he was also the first to demonstrate that a comic strip character could be merchandised profitably.
		Others had tried but failed--Outcault was the first to have the intellect and artistic ability to see and depict New York City as many of its residents did, and to be able to present it to them in a manner that made them laugh.
		All of these developments and many others are characteristic of the interaction between the artist of a new comic strip and the public, and it took about a year for the strip to reach maturity and for the Yellow Kid to become the toast of New York City.
