Classic Comic Site
An inspiring
WEBSITE offering a visual history of comics, from more than a thousand years ago through 1930. Lots of great scans of comics that can't be found anywhere else on-line. Plus photos of cartoonists, a history of speech balloons and much more. A lot of my favorites are here - Lyonel Feininger, Milt Gross, Cliff Sterrett - as well as a lot of names that I'd like to see more of, such as Olaf Gulbransson, Herbert Crowley and Oscar Anderson. Enjoy the site and try not to think too much about how in less than a century we've passed from the sheer beauty and creativity of these comics to the visual insipidity of DRABBLE.
