Children’s Comics
Mass-produced comic strips appeared in US newspapers from the early 1900s. The first UK comic was The Dandy in 1937. Comic sales are now surging with web and TV linked revamps. But today’s children also enjoy the old characters. Parents know comics are a way of getting younger children to read so are happy to buy them!
