Our Roots: The Victorian Age of Comic Book Fandom! 7 7

[BLBcomics-migration]

Ok boys & girls, was away from here for a bit, unpacking from heroeson, prepping for San Diego, etc - thought this thread would grow? wha' happened? was enjoying this immensely

 

tis a fact America's first comic book was in print almost continuously from 1842 thru at least 1904

 

Heck, you never got to the and Fitzgerald editions which take over once Ben Day Sr (his son Benjemin Day Jr) invented benday dotted sheets for toning pic printing

 

here, more fuel to play with

Happy 180th-anniversary (for this 1841 Tilt & Bogue version, on which the 1842 Brother Jonathan version was based)!  1841, when comic books were still books.  Gotta love a character that inspired wonderful threads like this.
