Today in Comics History, June 2, 1951: Kids all over America cut out this check and cash it, driving Marvel Comics into bankruptcy


from "The Phantom Pen" in Astonishing #6 (Marvel/20th Century Comic Corp., October 1951); pencils, inks, and letters (and scropt?) by Bill Everett

How do I know it's 1951? Because that's the date on the checks on this story's splash page!

  2. There's a Gotham City in the Marvel Universe? Why has this not been exploited?
