1/7: I’ve been hesitant to say anything about this, but since season 2 of @RaisingDion’s @netflix series just dropped this week, there's something I'd like to say for my own peace of mind. 🧵
2/7: Some background: Back in 2014-2015 I worked on a comic called #RaisingDion. It was the first full length comic I worked on professionally & was written by Dennis Liu. When the book (& short film/trailer) released, it got decent attention & in 2017 #Netflix greenlit a series.
3/7: When S1 released in 2019, I noticed that the opening credits stated: “based on the comic book by” but only had a credit for Dennis, the writer. This is the case for season 2 as well. Keep in mind, even today there is still only 1 issue of the #RaisingDion comic book.

I Licari-Guillaume > je conseille à mes élèves de commencer avec Marvelman/Miracleman car c'est là que Moore va poser les bases de ce qu'il va faire ensuite. Il commence là à interroger les codes des super-héros #LaMethSci
.@marshotel > Miracleman a lgtps été indisponible. On peut le lire depuis peu. Je pense qu'on peut aussi commencer par #Watchmen, une oeuvre qui condense un peu toutes les obsessions que Moore a des super-héros. Ou bien #TheKillingJoke ! #LaMethSci

The editor pod's Christmas theme is "Holiday Blockbusters." Basically, superheroes. But Nicest Guy on the Planet @ThomasCTobin inadvertently re-created a piece of #comicbook history: The memorial to #Batman's fallen partner, Jason Todd, #Robin II. #NightEditorProblems ImageImageImage
@ThomasCTobin Shoutout to @VarianTimes for recreating the #SpiderMan meme in his pod. #NightEditorProblems ImageImage
@ThomasCTobin @VarianTimes .@amy_hollyfield went full #CaptainAmerica, covering her desk with classic covers by John Byrne, Steve Epting. Stuart Immonen, John Cassaday and John Romita, if there are any #comicbook geeks out there keeping score. Image

Let's look at Famous Funnies no 1

1934 Eastern Color Printing Co
Scan courtesy Digital Comic Museum

100 Comics and Games - Puzzles - Magic
#comicbook history

While the contents are reprinted comic strips, the cover was new.
Who did the cover? I don't know

Who is on the cover?
Looks like that comical duo, Mutt and Jeff,

and Rudolph Rassendale, that beastly blackguard from Hairbreadth Harry.

Here is the back glossy cover of saddle sticked Famous Funnies no 1

The lady in red might be from Somebody's Stenog
The crooked little house might be from Toonerville Folks
The guy in the green vest might be from Smatter Pop?

A new clue from @PrintMuseumCA in looking back to 1933 and asking "What kind of printing press might have been used to create the first comic book?"

Our starting point - a web fed rotary Letterpress by R Hoe of NY, used by newspapers.
#comicbook history

A R Hoe press might have run off the first comic book in 1933. Here is a photo of R Hoe's exhibit at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo.

The Exposition was lit by electric power from Niagara Falls, and where President McKinley was assassinated
#comicbook history

There is the argument the first comic is *after* Funnies on Parade, which was just 8 pages, and never retailed. Eastern teamed with Dell for a 36 page Famous Funnies A Carnival of Comics, retailed at Woolworth

Here comes the Freedom Train, you better hurry down
Just like a Paul Revere, its coming in to your home town

I first learned about The Freedom Train of 1947 through comic books
American history had similar things before and after 1947 - there would be another official American Freedom Train for the Bicentennial, and the Civil Rights movement had Freedom Riders, and the Underground Railroad has been called the Freedom Train.

Freedom - powerful word
The Allies had won WWII, and the Axis Powers of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan were defeated.

Then what?

What do you do after you've had a Hot Time in the Town of Berlin?

#BlackHistoryMonth #comicbooks history

A look at the 1949 Jackie Robinson Comic Books, by Fawcett Publications,

Its notable for being in stark contrast to much of the harsh stereotyping common in the Golden Age of Comics

Thanks to @ComicsintheGA for inspiring this
Back in 1949, if you had asked who the "Big Two" in comic books were, you might get the answer of National (DC) and Fawcett.

Fawcett Publishing was founded by "Captain Billy" Fawcett, and rose to prominence with Captain Billy's Whiz Bang joke book

(Trouble in River City!)
#comicbook history

Fawcett is best known today for creating the character of the original Captain Marvel in Whiz Comics (Named for Captain Billy's Whiz Bang)

This is a storied character, later incorporated into DC comics. He's got a movie coming out this Spring

Golden Age super heroes and the Fear of Air Raids

This thread presents information based in part on theory and conjecture. The producers purpose is to suggest some possible explanation, but not necessarily the only ones, to the mysteries we will examine
#comicbooks history

Doctor Mid-Nite is a National Periodicals (DC) super-hero created by Charels Reizenstein and Stanley Aschmeir in 1941.

Dr Charles McNider is a surgeon. A mobster bombs his office, trying to kill a witness that McNider was operating on. McNider is blinded
#comicbooks history

Its his blindness that modern readers then associate with the modern (not Golden Age) Marvel blind super-hero Daredevil

Doctor Mid-Nite is sometimes cited as the first disabled super-hero. That's important, but consider that 1941 creation date in that
