Superhero comics are over 80. Dividing it into 20 year brackets is a pretty good rough for the chapters of the industry's life.

In a 1949 interview, the influence of photography on magazine covers came up. Hurst didn't like it, and didn't use photographs to work from.

Its interesting in that for the Big Two #comicbook companies, photography has never been too popular with covers (unlike Dell)

The advice was not to do one piece of art for each assignment, but do three or four! Rather annoyed at how much more work that would be, Earl decided to give the advice a try. So, for the next assignment he did five versions.

Some of Earl Oliver Hurst's iillustrations, here with a #MayGodBlessAmerica theme.

The story goes that his work was being pirated by other artists, who then sold them to National magazines. He tried his hand at bigger fish, but didn't do well until he got some advice.

Here is a 1950 cover that I think *doesn't work*

This title was genre hopping. We get the prettiest woman in the world, Venus, in a red dress thrust into a space opera, with dragons and a spaceman. Is that a pink Earth? Is there harmony, unity or balance?

@ComicsintheGA Found this by Irise on Deviant Art

I am sure there is wisdom in not provoking chaotic weasels

While maybe not for kids, its not raunchy. However, it does illustrate (I made a funny) an end around on the comics code.

Dell, like Archie, was so wholesome, it was distributed without the CCA stamp of approval

Enter: For Laughing Out Loud in 1956!

Who's laughing now

Two Michael Berry covers for Dell's For Laughing Out Loud, which ran from about 1956 to 1965.

Its obviously not Archie with its slightly adult-themed humor (and not PC today, is it)
