In the 1950s, comic books were far more than ever more exotic super heroes. Classic novels were published as illustrated comic books, and there were sub-genre of Love Comics and hybrids such as Archie comics (which straddled the “goofy/love” line). There were few areas of interest that the comic book publishers didn’t try market to, stamp collecting included.

 

In 1952, Youthful Magazines, an Ohio publisher, began a short-lived series “Stamp Comics.” We’ve reprinted issue #4 which came out in April 1952.
