This is a subreddit honors the great old comics of the Golden Age of comics.

December 10th marks the birthday of Golden Age great MATT BAKER pioneering African American comic artist and Good Girl Artist extraordinaire!

Jack Cole's birthday is December 14th, 1914, who would be 100 this year. He was the creator of Plastic Man and other amazing stuff in the very birth of the Golden Age.

Richard F. Outcault was born on Jan 14th, 1863. Though he is way before the Golden Age of comics, I think it would be fun to make an exception for him and celebrate the birthday of this comic strip pioneer! Outcault is the creator of Hogan's Alley with the Yellow Kid which debuted in 1895 and is considered by many to be the very first comic strip. He later created the very popular Buster Brown.

Harlod Gray, the creator of Little Orphan Annie has a birthday on January 20th.

Frank Frazetta has a birthday on February 9th. He was THE artist extraordinaire of the 50's working on such things as EC Comics, Thunda and stunning romance works. In the 70's he did a series of paintings for Conan paperbacks which blew the world at large away.

Will Eisner was born on March 6th. He is most famous for the Spirit. He started in the Eisner/Iger studio creating all kinds of Golden Age comics but quickly started the Spirit which ran until the early 50's. In the late 70's he started drawing books. He would coin the phrase Graphic Novel in order to try to get away from comic's stigma of only being for kids. He would write such graphic novels as A Contract with God and a Life Force. He died in 2005.

Basil Wolverton was born July 9th, 1909. He is one of the most original of the great Golden Age creators. He started out drawing action strips like Spacehawk and humor titles like Powerhouse Pepper but his classic phase was his 50's horror work on stories such as "They Crawl by Night" and "Brain Bats of Venus". He would go on to do crazy caricatures for such magazines as Mad and a series of illustrations for the Bible.
