Popular Comics #1 (1936)

In 1936, a little comic book called 'Popular Comics #1' made its debut and started the trend of featuring original comic book characters. But before we dive into the newbies, let's talk reprints. Popular Comics #1 began with classic newspaper comic strips like 'Moon Mullins' and 'Skippy', as well as lesser-known comics like 'Always Belittlin''. The latter was a topper to the popular comic 'Skippy', and was an adorable nod to the daily struggles of childhood.

Once the reprints were out of the way, the comic book delved into its new characters. First up, a father-son duo known as 'Prof. Supermind & Son'. These heroes had a knack for taking on mad scientists and over-the-top villains. Then came 'Martin the Marvel Man', a cowboy superhero with a heart of gold and fists of steel.

The comic book's line-up also included a character known as 'Dr. Hormone'. Yes, you heard that right. Dr. Hormone was a scientist with the power to change anything into anything else. He was accompanied by 'The Voice', an invisible detective who was a master of disguise.

But that wasn't all - Popular Comics #1 also showcased newspaper comic hits like 'Harold Teen', 'Felix the Cat', and 'Smilin' Jack'. The eclectic mix of characters made for a fun and unique reading experience that kept readers coming back for more.
