There is actually some debate over when the 'first' comic book was made.
Some consider Famous Funnies #1 to be the first real comic book, and what came before does not qualify.....
(Of course, we all know that is a narrow, limited view of the world of comics......)
If you are interested in a little of that debate, check this link:

It's all our boy Earl fightin' for what's right!
Yep that one got a bit heavy but it's fun to be in a thread with Maggie and Bob. It strange with Bob, I spend half the time in those type of threads agreeing with and defending his position and the other half of the time disagreeing with him.
