	FIRST AMERICAN COMIC BOOK CREATED BY JAPANESE IMMIGRANT?

		While reprint collections of newspaper strips appeared as early as 1897, the first modern American comic book is generally acknowledged to be Funnies on Parade, published in 1933.

	COMICON.com: A MEANINGLESS INTENSIVE: STAN LEE AND THE RISE AND FALL OF THE AMERICAN COMIC BOOK
		With their new book, Stan Lee and the Rise and Fall of the American Comic Book authors Jordan Raphael and Tom Spurgeon seek to capitalize on the controversy by making Stan Lee both their subject (some might say, victim) as well as the window though which they present a history of the comics medium.
		Both the history of the American Comic Book industry and Stan Lee’s personal narrative are unnecessarily prostituted for the sake a self-important and unwieldy title.
		His editorial guidance and the unique feel he imbued in all of Marvel's books turned Superhero comics around and made them an immediate hot property and the dominant enduring idiom of American comics even to the present day.

	The American Office - Comic Book Resources Forums
		The American version of "The Office" is my favorite comedy on TV right now.
		Last season, I was pretty excited for the American version, as I am quite the fan of Steve Carrell.
		It's always going to be a little bit more broad than the original, and Ricky Gervais is obviously not replaceable, but...I still say this is one of the funniest, truest things on American tv, and in SOME aspects is better than the original.
