Today in Comics History, August 9, 1938: Nothing Much Happened Today

from Mighty Marvel Calendar 1980: The Occult World of Doctor Strange (Marvel, 1979)
Last year on this date, good Bully fan Sean McGonegal Twittered:


Sean made a very good point: why didn't I post a "Today in Comics History" for his birthday? And as you can see, I promised him I'd do better this year, upon the name of one of the worst DC characters ever! So here we go, Sean...your birthday happens to be...the date Bucky Barnes entered the Army!


from "Precious Gifts" in Marvel Holiday Special 1991 #1 one-shot (Marvel, 1991), script by Len Kaminski, pencils by Ron Lim, inks by Jim Sanders III, colors by Marie Javins, letters by Roxanne Starr
Ummmm...okay. So as you can see, Sean, Today in Comics History...was something...that I really don't have a joke for.

We'll try again next year.

Happy Birthday!
