History Of Comics On Film Part 73 (Kids Super Power Hour With Shazam!)

  1. Do you plan on covering Pogo? Pogo started in a comics magazine prior to the newspaper strip?

    What of Brenda Starr? http://toonopedia.com/br_starr.htm Brenda Starr commenced as an experimental comic book supplement (similar to The Spirit, which appeared two months later, but with smaller individual segments).

    History of Comics on Film Part 18: at 8:11; the two pairs of heroes did not team together. They actually fought each other, as one pair operated as vigilantes posing as criminals for gain, while the other pair operated as fully deputized.

Walt Kelly's Pogo first appeared not in newspapers, but as a feature in the Dell comic book anthology Animal Comics, as well as in Dell's Four Color Comics before receiving its own title, Pogo Possum, in 1949.

  3. You might want to retitle your series "History of Comics Magazines on Film", as you do not cover newspaper strips. To present a helpful analogy, a tome titled "The History of New York" may cover Buffalo, Flushing, etc. but a tome titled "The History of New York City" has an obviously narrower focus.

  4. If you cover Pogo, perforce Pog from Swamp Thing and Bartle seem to elicit mention, along with Hepzibah of the Starjammers.
