Comics… and MORE Comics

Bahoukas Antique Mall has acquired an amazing collection of comics – hundreds (if not thousands)! And George has just started putting them out.

The easiest way to share them is in this Gallery Of Comics – which is a mere drop in an ocean of comics!

Do you know what the title of the first comic printed in the U.S. was? Are you ready?

The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck

Yep – printed in 1837 in Europe, and translated and printed in the U.S. in 1869.

The art and story were created by a Swiss artist named Rodolphe Topffer and was translated in the U.S. by New York magazine, Brother Jonathon.

I know some folks see comics as ‘wasting time.’ But the Classics Illustrated series offers recognized books in comic form. Everyone can enjoy the classics! In Britain, they’ve created Classical Comics, founded in 2007, offering selections that include Shakespeare and Dickins.

Classics Illustrated is an American comic book/magazine series featuring adaptations of literary classics such as Les MiserablesMoby-DickHamlet, and The Iliad. Created by Albert Kanter, the series began publication in 1941 and finished its first run in 1969, producing 169 issues. Following the series’ demise, various companies reprinted its titles. Since then, the Classics Illustrated brand has been used to create new comic book adaptations. This series is different from the Great Illustrated Classics, which is an adaptation of the classics for young readers that includes illustrations, but is not in the comic book form.
