When looking for the best comics of the 1940s, never forget the small publishers! CROWN COMICS (Golfing/McComb 1944-1949) featured great entries in adventure, humor, suspense, detective and more, and showcased some of the top artists of the day such as Matt Baker, Kamen, Feldstein and others. There's a different feel to these more independent works Ð a sense that the writers and artists were not constrained by formula. Crown Comics ran for 19 issues over 5 years, and Gwandanaland / Midcentury Comics has the entire collection for you!
