The popularity of these comic books surged for a decade but began fading in the years after World War II. The introduction of Superman was a huge hit, and soon thereafter, comic books began featuring all manner of heroes with amazing powers. The Golden Age of comic books began in June 1938 with the publication of Action Comics #1. At the time, nobody had an inkling of what was to come. Instead of using word balloons, text was placed under the panels to describe the story. The book was side stitched and contained 40 pages with six to 12 panels per page. The following year, that version was reprinted in New York, giving America its first comic book. The earliest known comic book, The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck, was published in Europe in 1837 in several different languages – none of which were English.įour years later, an English version was published in the U.K.
