Little Nemo is one I can think of.
I like Katzenjammer kids which is extremely early, but I don't know if it's earlier than Little Nemo.
Mid to late 19th century political cartoons.
Political cartoons are great and I'm still mad that I've been banned for trying to start threads about them before, the Crimean War has a lot of really good ones
I too would like to give a hearty endorsement to Little Nemo
What’s a good place to read some? What’s a good place to read any old newspaper comics, for that matter?
Watchmen.
(Its the oldest comic I've read)
I keep putting off reading the original Avengers run
>I keep putting off reading the original Avengers run
There's an anon who's been storytiming it from the beginning on here for a little while already, get in on it lad
Krazy Kat and Ernest Bushmiller's Nancy. I also really admire Winsor McCay's art, no matter what he's drawing.
But for the oldest comic books I unironically enjoy reading, probably pre-CCA Gaines horror books (Tales From the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear.)
Little Nemo, I also love Little Orphan Annie which came a couple decades later (still 100 years ago tho)
Golden Age Shazam
It was on one of the highest floors of my Uni's library but whenever I had to wait between classes I'd go there just to read it
Golden age Shazam doesn’t exist. It’s golden age captain marvel, there’s no confusion given the marvel version didn’t exist until the silver age.
Torchy, it's a good girl book from the late 40's. think Kathy Keene but blonde
I also love all the early Archieish stuff like Ginger and Stan G's early work for Marvel, and the Tippy Teen books like Go-Go and Animal
I love Gill Fox. He drew TMNT licensing art that was literally everywhere in the early 90s.
Fawcett era Captain Marvel. First twelve issues of Superman. Police Comics Plastic Man.
I enjoyed the Spacehawk one someone storytimed in here last year. And once in a while i read a silver age Superman story, those tend to be pretty fun.
the ones that guy posts constantly from the uk during the 50s about football and kitchen sink drama like kes
Wilhelm Busch or that one Norman Tapestry.
I made a career out of it.
so translate pls
Another comic where the movie adaption sucked:
For me it's The Outbursts of Everett True (1905).
yeah definitely Everett True(funny I never realized it predates Little Nemo* by about 4 months)
*which would have been my answer for OP's question before realizing this
You know what? I agree with Everett. It do be like that.
>That one where Everett literally slapped a man out of existence
I own copies of reprinted Golden Age Batman comics and I enjoy them, I like seeing Batman casually killing people
wonder if they ever found more Fletcher Hanks comics since the release of the two collections. The second book was weaker since the first one was the "best of" and I assume it was so popular that they put out a second volume of everything else
Sticking to comic books only? Plastic Man or Donald Duck, whichever came first.
Bill Everett's Namor stuff is really damn good.
I've read a lot of Nancy, agree with everyone name checking Little Nemo. Early Golden Age Superman is fun, some of the side stories in More Fun, Adventures, Action are actually really interesting. 1950s Archies can be fun.
I mean some of these are so short, it's not like I am going to recommend a trade and like some of the other anons, it is stuff you can easily dip into for a few minutes and then go back to whatever else is going on.
Nancy and Little Nemo
Nancy is genuinely funny. And Little Nemo's art is amazing. Also, old comic strips can be good like Terry and the Pirates, Flash Gordon, and such.
Like comic magazines, some EC horror magazines.
Popeye, before they stopped him fighting.
Pogo Possum.
Krazy Kat.
Tintin.
The Spirit, the good stuff reprinted by Fantagraphics.
EC horror comics.
Old Mad Magazine.
Basil Wolverton's Powerhouse Pepper and Spacehawk, and his horror comics.
Little Nemo in slumberland.
Does Rupert the Bear count, he's pure as frick.
Plastic Man
The Spirit
Captain Marvel is a fun read
If you happen to read it. What villains that could work?
Golden age Superman.
Golden age Batman.
Immortal Thor ||hehe||
I can't recall whats older off the top of my head.
I remember liking old Nancy comic strips.
For sure enjoyed Fletcher Hanks stuff.
I remember someone posted that All Black Comics issue that had some good stories in it.
I can't remember how much of The Yellow Boy I liked whenever someone posted that ancient stuff.
