A quick fyi for the comÂic fan: A newish webÂsite, The DigÂiÂtal ComÂic Archive, opens up free access to pubÂlic domain GoldÂen Age Comics, which fell into kids’ hands from the late 1930s until the earÂly 1950s. You won’t find here the big name comics from the periÂod (SuperÂman, BatÂman, CapÂtain AmerÂiÂca, WonÂder Woman, CapÂtain MarÂvel, etc). But that shouldÂn’t stop you from givÂing the archive a good look. There are still a lot of goldÂen comics to rumÂmage through.
To get startÂed, simÂply regÂisÂter for an account and then start siftÂing and downÂloadÂing the texts. The downÂloadÂing part can be a litÂtle tricky in some casÂes. So please visÂit their FAQs if you run into any probÂlems. HapÂpy readÂing…
The periÂod saw the arrival of the comÂic book as a mainÂstream art form, and the definÂing of the mediÂum’s artisÂtic vocabÂuÂlary and creÂative conÂvenÂtions by its first genÂerÂaÂtion of writÂers, artists, and ediÂtors.
