Camera Comics: 1944-1946

I saw this referenced on another forum and found these links for online reading. Looks like there were only nine issues. Contains story-lines, real-life photography mini-bios, educational, inspirational, and DIY yourself articles among others for the novice and budding photographer/hobbyist. Very cool. A little escapism to days gone by.

A little background...

Thank you for posting.
The esthetics of the mid XX century comics and the tips on photography from the same years (including the advertising) make a wonderful combination.
I will bookmark those links. The nine issues deserve a careful reading.
Best regards
Joao

Thanks for the links. This is a very neat part of photography history.

I had seen this one before, when folks were talking about how the Kodak Medalist could be used as a weapon. Didn't know it was a whole series.



Best,

Linda Lens = Lee Miller?

Interesting that the price of comic books remained at 10 cents for over a decade.

I'm OK reading them online 🙂

I have most issues of Mad Magazines and thought they would fetch a few dollars, but their value is not what I thought they would be.
