Then And Now of Comics is a semi-regular show about comic books, and the history of titles. One part history lesson about a given title, two parts of reviewing the very first issue of a title and then the latest #1 in that title and then coming up with some conclusion.

As always, stay golden, and be respectful, inklings!

Yes, the Internet goaded me into it. Yes, the Title History is basically 75% JSA. Yes, the conclusion is very related to the current state of the comic community (and those that leech off it)...
TL;DR - Comics have always been a vehicle for socially minded storytelling, despite what the New Wave Werthams televangelize.
