New Fun Comics #1, 1935. Essays by Jerry Bails, Roy Thomas & Nicky Wheeler-Nicholson. Highly Recommended. By Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson et al. For the first time ever, the very first comic book published by DC Comics is reprinted. Published at the start of 1935, New Fun Comics #1 made history as the first comic book made up of new stories instead of reprints of newspaper comic strips. Cowboys, gunfighters, space heroes, adventurers and soldiers of fortune populated these pages, each of which is a separate one-page installment in the style of Sunday newspaper comics, but twice normal comic book size. Here reproduced that huge size, in hardcover.
