Very nice.
And for an even nicer experience, there's a comic book reader called comic rack (http://comicrack.cyolito.com/)

The comics are even more awesome with this!

working my way through them, Leon. Aren't they wonderful - any number of them would look great on a t-shirt.

As a kid the only photographer I knew was Peter Parker aka Spidey... In the cartoon series methinks he sports a Leica with soft shutter...

Still my favourite comic of all time!
If you haven't read it yet,  I strongly recommend... a true classic!

Damn, Leon!

I have looked at all 9 issues and predictably, Kodak are mentioned a lot and not a look in for Ilford!

Well... they were American wartime comics...
I didn't have time to take a look but I guess Ansco, GAF and others were not mentioned a lot either.

It was all Kodak apart from the odd Graflex mention.

Fascinating stuff. Great find, Mauricio! I'll be downloading all of these tonight and reading them in whatever reader on whatever device works best.

Leon; you're right about that t-shirt. It would be wonderful.

Whoah! I know it was 1944 and there was a war on etc. but did any of you read the story in Comic #1 in which the intrepid hero foils a plot on American soil by some Japanese spies? All the Japanese characters were coloured a very nasty yellow (I kid you not) and their features are exaggerated and monstrous. Not very subtle, or pleasant.

I noticed while flipping through it... classic American propaganda which sadly was a very common thing in the days...

Yup, a trend that continued at least until the early sixties.  Grotesque.
