Episode Two: "A new cargo of mystery and thrills!" New Fun #1
Manage episode 440129558 series 3599883
In which I briefly sketch the history of comics between Rodolphe Topffer and the 1930s, discuss the first comic books, and then describe New Fun #1, the first comic book that featured all new material rather than reprinted newspaper comic strips.
I also discuss Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson, the failson behind New Fun #1, and what makes New Fun #1 notable besides the presence of entirely new content.
The transcript, complete with illustrations, can be found at my Patreon page.
