Most people love comic books, not to mention the vintage comics. Regardless of how old we become, there is still this attraction to purchase comics when we are out shopping. Personally, the older I become the more appreciative I am of things such as the vintage comics.
Over the years doing research, I discovered that the very first comic has been published above a century ago during 1895. This had been Hogan's Alley. Besides that, comic book received its name from the reference that was made in a comic strip during 1897. It was at this time when the first usage of bubble speech enabled the characters to have their own voice. A book called The Yellow Kid in McFadden's Flats had a main character named Yellow Kid, which was acknowledged with the term and this has stuck since then.
There are actually five categories of this type of book by the era. In order for a comic to be viewed as Platinum comics this must had been published throughout 1897 to 1937. Golden Age of comics was the ones printed during 1938 to 1955, while the Silver Age comics had been published from 1956 to 1969. After that emerged the Bronze Age comics and these were in 1970 to 1979. Modern day comic books actually began in 1980, which continues today.
The first appearance of comics was in newspapers and many years after this was the only published format. Mutt and Jeff had been among the first comic strips which were created into a small book and sold at newsstands for ten cents. Phantom was the very first super hero and was popular during 1936.
This was the beginning of the vintage comic books. In case you are able to locate one of these outdated 10 cent publications it will be worth a lot of money. Vintage and rare comics are one of the best investments you could make, but even more importantly these will be fun to have in your collection.
