This is a presentation of historical comics, intended to enlighten and amuse students of comics history, (and to provide their teachers with reference material.) Maybe these early comics will also inspire some of today's comics artists. Most were scanned by me, ususally from books or magazines lent to me. Now and then someone sends a dvd with scans made from his own collection. The Archive is devided into eight chronological sections. The artists in sections 4 to 8 are listed alphabetically.

     
   

A-Z Index & Country Index                     (unidentified artists 1860-1900)


I will place some of the additions here, to let you know what's new.
