Fifty Years Ago in Comics: Looking Back at 1956
Posted by Michael Pinto on Dec 27, 2006 in Comic Books |
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.
