	Comics Code Authority St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles
		When the Comics Code was drafted in 1954, it was touted by its creators as "the most stringent code in existence for any communications media." It certainly created a fervor, and sparked heated debate about the role of comic books and what they could and should do.
		Called to testify, Wertham continued his attack on comic books, concluding "I think Hitler was a beginner compared to the comic book industry." William Gaines, publisher of the much-maligned EC line of comics, argued that these comics were not intended for young children and should not be subjected to protective censorship.
		Given the virtual elimination of crime and horror comics, several publishers began to place more emphasis on their superhero books, in which the violence was bigger than life and far from the graphically realistic portrayals in crime and horror comics.

	Comics Scholars Survey Results
		Gene mentioned that the last ten years have seen comics having a definite impact on the generic conventions of film and television; prior to that, most of the generic influence went strictly from the more popular media to the lesser.
		Comic books continually attempt to push the envelope of that principle--whether it be superheroes "blasting off the page," or the Disneyesque "cinematography" of Jeff Smith's Bone.
		She continued that in a comic book series--as opposed to a graphic novel with a since self-contained plot--another element operates, an element most clearly illustrated by the fan response to the original Star Trek TV series, which motivated extensive creative involvement by fans who expanded upon the television show with their own fiction and art.

	The 100 Greatest Comics of the 20th Century (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		It can be a comic that inspired others to follow suit with its groundbreaking approach to storytelling or its success in the marketplace.
		It can be a comic that dared to do something a little different, and challenged people to reconsider their perceptions of what a comic book could do.
		That said, I wanted this to be a list of the individual books that had the greatest impact on the medium, and I think most fans would have a hard time arguing against the notion that the superheroes comprised the 20th century's largest comic-book genre.

	Mike Gold Interview by Bradley S. Cobb
		The Impact team thought the characters, be they original or revivals, should be created with this new audience in mind and, therefore, wouldn’t fit easily into the mainstream universe.
		Impact required – and was designed to require – a lot of marketing support in order to attract that new audience.
		Quite frankly, when the air was let out of the Impact line I began to look past DC and I had signed a letter of intent to move on to another operation about a year before I left the company, so my last year was spent mostly winding up projects.

		Archie and the humor comics that would follow would prove to be the demise to the superhero line with the company even changing their name from MLJ to Archie Comics.
		The Impact Comics would not be forced to carry on the old origins and stories from the Archie Comics as the Impact creators free to re-imagine the heroes as they pleased.
		Impact Comics original marketing scheme would call for the books to not only be sold through the standard comic book outlets, but also try to revive some older comic outlets like newsstand retail store sales while trying to venture into new venues like hobby stores and mall kiosks.

		This fourth annual conference on comics will focus on the theme of comics and childhood, particularly the use of image and text in the hybrid forms of comics and children's literature.
		This conference will focus on comics and children's literature in terms of illustration, sequence, serialization, and their connections as hybrid works of image and text.
		In addition, the conference seeks to examine how comics and children's literature have been treated and constructed given their hybrid representations and, in turn, how these have allowed for subversive possibilities in both children's literature and comics.

	Free Comic Book Day 2005
		On the day I went down to our favourite coffee shop and handed out comics to families that were eating out in the morning.
		We had free face painting which was popular with kids of all ages (some men decided they’d get fake tattoos painted on them.) There was a small group waiting outside the shop when we opened the doors.
		By the end of it all we had given away almost every FCBD comic after asking customers to restrict themselves to 3 free items each.

	The Comics Journal: Reviews
		Bendis' comics must be among the most voluble in the medium, even with their pronounced caesuras.
		Pointing out errors in comics has a long and honored tradition ("On page 4 you clearly show Green Arrow shooting his last boxing-glove arrow but on page 6...") and consistency can be the bugaboo of small etcs., yet a distracting number of unconscionable coincidences, oversights, blunders and outright failures of narrative ingenuity plague Bendis' writing.
		Early on he calls comics "what I always dreamed of doing since I was a wee young un'." Later, though, he lapses comatose during grinding negotiations with a film studio, drained when his "boyhood dream come true isn't 'this' close to either happening or disappearing." Success of any stripe, in any medium, may well suffice.

	JIVEMagazine.com - Comics As Literature: Discussion with Literary Scholar Charles Hatfield
		On the other hand comics can also be seen as what is called a graphic narrative, a work of fiction or nonfiction that tells stories and explains ideas, but this is achieved graphically with images.
		To see comics as literature allows you to look at a broader and interesting view of comics, understand the art, the point of view, and significant impact comics make on their readers.
		Instead comics are usually discussed as a form or a medium that has multiple genres within it: science fiction, detective, romance, mystery, superhero genre, and the list goes on.

	icomics - Electronic Comics - The Future of the Form
		From improved color to digital inking techniques, the panel sanctioned electronic tools, cautioning that an artist must be at the keyboard when the job calls for an aesthetic solution.
		Jim Steranko challenged the panel with this question: "What would be the perfect comic book?" After a few confounding moments during which neither the panel nor the audience responded, Steranko answered his own question.
		That participatory aspect of the artform is crucial and unless someone can maximize this old approach to making that essential connection to the reader then there is a rude awakening to be had someday for those who care nowadays about the medium of comics.

		There are three big changes going on: the influx of Japanese comics, which is resulting in a tremendous number of younger readers, especially younger females; graphic novels, which are expanding the literary ambitions of comics; and the webcomics explosion, which is the great wildcard in all this.
		If a comic comes out on the scene and it's really knock-out brilliant, the community is pretty good about getting the word about good newcomers.
		My attitude about newspapers and comics is that they were a shotgun marriage, beginning at the start of the last century.

		It was a revamp of Archie comics superheroes like the Fly and the Comet.
		I might try to locate some Comet comics after that (and after I finish collecting the old Howard the Duck run).
		I later did my own version of an Impact comic with MacPaint, a gritty Dark Knight-like epic called "The Frog," which I printed out and made double-sided by using my dad's rubber cement, even including ads photocopied from other comics.
