Terrific's desire to teach children about "Fair Play" and his desire to give them a place where they can be safe from the allure of crime (the Fair Play Club) are both reflections of the social realities of the United States in the era directly preceding World War II.

Comics Stuff is an occasional publication showcasing aspects of comics collecting and indexing beyond the comic book and toy price guides.
It tells the story of, let's see, a worm, a cartoonist, and the human race, up through a fanciful utopia in which comics is accorded the status of not simply Art (as we all know it Should Be) but Life Itself.
What text there is in the comic proper is included in English (visibly pasted down onto the artwork) and again in added French and Swedish captions which, while they do break up the panel compositions a bit, usually add more than they (necessarily) obscure.

Wise up: the more comics imitate movies, the less need movies will have for comics as a source of imaginative material; let's remember that the movie industry is ONLY NOW learning to simulate the technology and imagination Jack Kirby packed in his pencil 40 years ago.
The comics medium is a very specialized area of the Arts, home to many rare and talented blooms and flowering imaginations and it breaks my heart to see so many of our best and brightest bowing down to the same market pressures which drive lowest-common-denominator blockbuster movies and television cop shows.
Superhero comics are way too expensive for the mass market and the brand of garish, violent pulp they were once the only source for is available these days in more attractive media.

Often they would not find it in Superman's comic line and thus the editors at DC would be forced to present a different kind of comic that they were used to producing.

In comics like Hawk and Dove, the teen-aged protagonists were youthful rebels, the sons of a prominent judge and on opposite ends of the political spectrum.

This recent addition to the comics pages is described as a "delightfully absurd panel [that] takes superheroes, office humor, huggable animals and twisted relationships, blending them in a bizarre marriage of Gary Larson, The New Yorker, Conan O'Brien and MAD.
They named some terrific comics and creators - Concrete, Neal Adams, etc. - but random is as random does and I'm not sure even 10,000 entries would be enough to include every last thing I love about comics.

 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.

"Blood Trails" was followed by John Wagner's two-part "Caught in the Act." With terrific art by Phil Winslade, it was the latest of what I call "Judge procedurals," tales which show how Dredd and his fellow Judges operate and the often terrifying power they wield in the performance of their duties.

Kirby’s imagination is out of control here: it’s not just anyone who’ll take two pages to draw the biggest pair of pliers ever constructed (and who’s going to complain when a sparsely-dressed Barda is holding the dang thing!).
