Hi guys,
Back in the early 1990s, I sold a three-part article to Comics Buyer's Guide, "Proto-Comics: The Proto-History of Comic Books before 1933." Nowadays, we even have a name for this era--the platinum age--but I was actually one of the first guys doing research in the field.
This series has actually never been reprinted ... until now, when Amazon.com released them in a Kindle edition. If you want to read the research cited by historians Bob Beerbohm and John A. Lent in their works on the platinum age, then you need "Proto-Comics"!

I hope you enjoy this article as much as I did! It's wonderful how much more we know now than we did then, but it's still pretty fantastic, remembering putting all of this together for the first time!
