My oldest comic would probably be one of about half a dozen British juvenile humour titles from about 1914, but they're too large to fit on my scanner. I believe my oldest American comic is this one.  |

Famous Funnies #21 is from April 1936. If you accept a wider definition of comic book (personally I consider it a book of comics), the Mutt & Jeff book is from 1910.  |

I have never really understood why there should be any difference between a "comic book" in the American format and any other form of sequential art. Comics are just comics, in my opinion. We don't really use the term "comic book" over here. Just "comics". |

In the same way "girl friend" means something different than simply a girl who is a friend, I think of "comic book" as meaning more than simply a book containing comics. To me it implies a particular format, the paper cover stapled spine looking thing of an approximate certain size. But I accept there is plenty of room for interpretation, and there have certainly been many formats for comic type books.
