More Fun Comics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (461 words) |
 | More Fun Comics was a DC Comics title which began as New Fun Comics in February 1935 and changed to More Fun with its seventh issue. |
| It was the first comic publication to feature solely original material rather than reprints of newspaper comic strips, and the first such magazine published by the company that would become DC Comics. |
| Beginning with #7 (January 1936), the title was changed to More Fun Comics, with the magazine featuring primarily adventure stories and, after the advent of Superman in the same company's Action Comics in 1938, superhero stories. |

| The Boy of Steel finally did appear in More Fun Comics #101 (Jan-Feb, 1945 — the same issue that contained the final appearance of The Spectre), which, since comics usually go on sale a couple of months before their cover date, actually came out near the end of 1944. |
| With their March, 1946 issues, More Fun's superheroes (Aquaman, Green Arrow, Johnny Quick and Superboy) all moved to Adventure Comics, ousting all the previous Adventure residents except The Shining Knight, and leaving Dover & Clover to share the More Fun covers with Genius Jones. |
| There is still a Superboy in DC Comics, but the current one isn't a younger version of Superman — in fact, other than his wearing a knock-off of Superman's costume, his relation to the Man of Steel is unclear. |
