Beano comic

Arguably, the best known British comic of all time. The Beano started life a year before the commencment of WW2. Issue #1 was dated July 30th 1938. It was called, "The Beano Comic", and had Big Eggo the ostrich on the front cover. It was the companion paper to The Dandy Comic which had started 8 months earlier, and proved extremely successful. These two publications were to be joined by a further companion paper entitled, The Magic Comic, in July 1939. Bearing in mind what was to happen two months later, this was unfortunate timing.The reason for the success of the Dandy and Beano was due to its radical new approach to comics. It's physical size was small and practical when compared to Illustrated Chips, Funny Wonder and Jester. These traditional comics were steeped in history, but their format was becoming rather staid. The stories had a picture above some text narrative. The idea of this was to give children some literacy experience. Remember, back in late Victorian times and early 20th century, illiteracy was rife. However, as the years passed, and education standards improved, D.C.Thomson realised that children were quite capable of looking at a picture and working out what was going on. There was no need for lines and lines of text when a couple of speech balloons would suffice. It was a gamble which paid off handsomely for David Couper Thomson. Although the Beano of today is pure comic strip, back in 1938 it was very different indeed. The original 28 page issue had seven full text stories. These took up 10 of those 28 pages. There were also six stories in the traditional, narrative under picture format, with the remaining pages experiencing the radical speech balloons only format. In fact, even some of these stories had narrative under the picture.

Spider-Man is a fictional Marvel Comics superhero. The character was created by writer and editor Stan Lee and artist and co-plotter Steve Ditko. He first appeared in Amazing Fantasy (August 1962). Lee and Ditko conceived of the character as an orphan being raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben as an ordinary teenager, having to deal with the normal struggles of youth in addition to those of a costumed crime fighter. Spider-Man's creators gave him super strength and agility, the ability to cling to most surfaces, shoot spider-webs using devices of his own invention which he called "web-shooters," and react to danger quickly with his "spider-sense", enabling him to combat his foes.
Superman is a fictional character, a comic book superhero appearing in publications by DC Comics, widely considered to be an American cultural icon. Created by American writer Jerry Siegel and Canadian-born artist Joe Shuster in 1932 while both were living in Cleveland, Ohio, and sold to Detective Comics, Inc. in 1938, the character first appeared in Action Comics (June 1938) and subsequently appeared in various radio serials, television programs, films, newspaper strips, and video games. With the success of his adventures, Superman helped to create the superhero genre and establish its primacy within the American comic book. The character's appearance is distinctive and iconic: a blue, red and yellow costume, complete with cape, with a stylized "S" shield on his chest. This shield is now typically used across media to symbolize the character.

Marvel Publishing, Inc., a company doing business as Marvel Comics, produces American comic books and related media. It is owned by Marvel Entertainment, Inc, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.
Marvel counts among its characters such well-known properties as Spider-Man, Iron Man, the X-Men, Wolverine, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Captain America, Daredevil, the Punisher, Ghost Rider, Doctor Strange and others. Most of Marvel's fictional characters operate in a single reality known as the Marvel Universe, with locales set in real-life cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

Silver Surfer


The 'Silver Surfer' was one of the best known comic book characters of the sixties and seventies despite having a comic book that only lasted 18 issues.
After seventeen issues of steadily declining quality and basically the same story over and over, this series was limping to an end by 1970.
Jack Kirby, who created the character in his Fantastic Four comics, reinvented the Silver Surfer here as a primal character reborn in one of his last efforts before leaving Marvel for DC.
Kirby turns in an passionate story and art job surprisingly well inked by Herb Trimpe. Who knew that Trimpe should have been inking 'The King' all along?
This is an amazing, slam-bang, all-out fight issue that only Kirby could deliver. And that's not hyperbole... only Jack Kirby was capable of delivering this kind of entertainment!
