My name is Jamie Coville and this is my comic book history website. I'll start off telling you that Comic Books have been around in one form or another for over two hundred years. There is a lot of history to cover and I am doing it piece by piece. My coverage is detailed with a lot of cover scans in both small and large sizes. Every link within opens up into a new window so you won't lose your place in reading the history. What I have available now is:
Newsstand Period Part 1. 1922 - 1955 . Newsstand Period Part 2. 1955 - 1984 (in progress). 1954 Senate Subcommittee Transcripts . 1954 Comics Code Authority Guidelines, with analysis . 1955 Senate Interim Report on Juvenile Delinquency . Public Domain Comic Book Scans .
Other things I've got on here include: My original History of Superhero Comic Books with all of it's flaws left intact. Podcasts of various Comic related Panels, Awards Shows and Interviews . And for fun Comic Related Buddy Icons .
