The Comic Book History of Comics #[nn]

In "Funnies Get Famous," Fred Van Lente and Ryan Dunlavey bring to life the early days of animation and comics, spotlighting Jack Kirby’s time working for Max Fleischer. The story traces how Fleischer’s cost-conscious approach initially outpaced Disney’s, but shifting fortunes—labor struggles and the groundbreaking success of Snow White—shifted the industry’s balance by the end of the 1930s.
