 FOREWORD
Comic books have fascinated me since I was first exposed to them inthe middle 1950s. I loved to read books anyway but in the comic book,the addition of pictures to accompany the story line made them simplyirresistible. I wish I had kept all the comics books that I ever owned,but during my younger years they were simply given away or sold. Inever really collected them but a few years ago did manage to puttogether a collection of Air Force comics which I still have to this day. Ienjoyed just about anything back then except the horror, violent or justplain weird ones. Comics were not banned from my parent’s house,but they paid close attention to what I was reading. I guess UncleScrooge and Little Lulu were not perceived as a threat to my childhooddevelopment.
 
This document is simply a compilation and brief overview of the earlyhistory of comics plus the addition of First Amendment challenges thatthreatened to destroy the comic book industry.Special thanks to David Jay Gabriel author of A Brief History of FirstAmendment Issues in Comic Books which I used extensively forguidance in compiling this document.Another fantastic source of information was from Jamie Coville’swebsite: http://www.thecomicbooks.com. If you wish a more completesource of comic book history, please visit this awesome website.A variety of other internet sources were also used to obtain visual andother written documentary material which greatly aided my efforts.afvet64
