Comic Book Day
About This Date

The first comic strip, The Yellow Kid, ran in Sunday newspapers on February 16, 1896. In March 1897, several comic strips were made into a Sunday Journal and and sold for 5 cents. From this humble beginning, comic books were born. During the next 30 years, people became loyal fans of characters such as Dick Tracy, Little Orphan Annie, Popeye, Mutt & Jeff, Buster Brown and Krazy Kat. They have lost some fans to tv, but are still popular today.

Have a Great Day!
