This being San Diego Comic Con weekend, when better than to look back at a few of the 19th & early 20th century comic books that can be found here on Super I.T.C.H.? (Unless you’re actually at the San Diego Con, in which case, what are you doing looking at the internet? You can do that after the Con!)
