Comic Books 1956: In 1956 fanboys were mad about Mad magazine (Issue #30 from December shown on the top left) and reading tons of comic books littered with space aliens like ‘Mystery in Space’ on the right which sports a cover by cover by Gil Kane. Below that are some panels shown from a classic Peanuts comic strip from March of ‘56, and on a more serious note the comic book on the right features Martin Luther King Jr. and a story about the early civil rights movement.
