  Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Dell Comics
Dell Publishing, which got its start in pulp magazines, was a pioneer in comic books.
Dell did so well with its licensed funny animals, that in 1941 it launched an anthology of its own.
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.

 Incessantly-Asked Questions
In the case of the Dell Comics from the forties and fifties, it was different: The Dell company did #1 and a firm called Western Printing and Lithography did #2 and #3.
Dell was not Western's only client for comic books; Dell had an exclusive deal for conventional newsstand-type comics but there were other markets.
Dell gave up but Western persisted for a time, largely by distributing their comics — usually in plastic bags of three — in toy and department stores.

Tarzan was ideal for the comic media and found his way into them almost from their inception.
The newspaper strip origins of Tarzan comics proved, however, to be a curse rather than a blessing to the comic book treatment of the character.

 Dell comics and Gold Key comics
The American comics section (apart from a few odd issues) really concentrates on pre 1975 material, so you will not find endless listings of the past 20 years or so here.
A lot of time is also being spent on producing gallery images of all the comics within our sales and interest period.
While it would be nice to claim that we have the budget to bring in all these key golden age issues the truth is that like most people we will have to settle for looking at the cover images and dreaming of winning the lottery to buy them.

 Dell / Gold Key comics
During this time Dell produced only a couple of titles that could be considered superhero comics, including the Owl, Brain Boy and Turok, Son of Stone.
Then in 1962 Western launched its own comic book line, Gold Key, and took its licensed characters away from Dell (they also took Turok, which was an original series).
The downturn in comic sales which had hit the entire industry in the late seventies hit Gold Key especially hard; they carried on into the mid-eighties, but eventually yielded to the inevitable and stopped production.

 Rare Alex Toth Dell Comics
Dell Comics specialized in movie adaptations and Disney characters, but as wholesome as they were, Dell did not carry the Comics Code Seal of Approval that every other major publisher displayed.
Instead, Dell comics contained 'A Pledge to Parents' which states: "The Dell code eliminates entirely, rather than regulates, objectionable material." Alex Toth drew some of the most fondly remembered titles published by this company in the late Fifties and early Sixties, and they remain some of his best work.
Drawn by Alex Toth, this comic book adaptation of the famous John Wayne film is a lot better than the movie itself, in my humble opinion.

 The Other Guys: Pre-Code Horror Comics
Comic books were clearly taking a great deal of their inspiration from the pulp magazines; generally, if something sold well in the pulps, it would turn up in comics not long after.
Their longest-running title was Jumbo Comics, which had long since ceased to be any larger than any other comic book by the time of the horror fad; for its final seven issues, numbered #161 through 167, the cover and lead feature were horror, though the rest of the book remained a mix.
The comics market was declining at the time anyway, and at very nearly the same time that the Code came in there was a major shake-up in the magazine distribution system--the American News Company, by far the largest distributor in North America, was liquidated by its stockholders.

 ERBzine 0851: Dell Summaries 1-10
As comic artist, Gil Kane, pointed out, “Today the films are comic and pulp based and comics are having a hard time adapting and competing.” Issue #1 was a good variation of Tarzan the Magnificent.
This story, Dell #3, takes some elements from the movies, but it is a new story not cloned from another source and produces a very tight story line.
This relates to one of the last scenes in the comic when Tarzan and Boy return from the hunt only this time the spear and boar are reversed in Tarzan’s arms.

The late fifties and the sixties are thought of, by most, as the "Silver Age of Comics." Starting with the publication of Showcase #4 in September 1956, which revived the DC Comics character The Flash, superheroes dominated the comics of this era.
If you start looking at the covers of comics (mostly DC Comics) published in the fifties and all through the sixties, you will notice that gorillas appear on many of the covers.
In the last fifteen years, annuals have been a showcase for some of the weaker talents in comics, and I feared that the JLApe crossover could be a total trainwreck,a nd another case of a big publisher producing totally unreadble comics.
