Jon Berk CollectionNew Comics may seem like an innocent little cartoon comic from the early years of the Golden Age of comics, but New Comics was in fact the original name of what would go on to become New Adventure Comics, and then would see its name change once again to Adventure Comics, one of DC's most-successful and longest-running titles. Once oversized New Fun Comics was published, DC founder Wheeler-Nicholson quickly put out the smaller New Comics, a compendium of humor and adventure comic strips, also establishing what would come to be known as the standard size of a comicbook in the process.This run of classics features some of the earliest work by the medium's most-important pioneers, including Walt Kelly, Sheldon Mayer, and Siegel & Shuster. This lot of New Comics is incredibly rare, and these books hold an important place in the history of not only DC, but comics in general, without which the industry may not have developed the way we've come to know it.
