Download Davidson Educational Comics Reference

Listings are alphabetical by title within Dewey Decimal classification.
Each listing includes: title of comic book (some titles may be briefed);
number of issue if part of a series; publisher; year of publication; format
(H=hardcover, C+=larger than standard comic book; C-=smaller than
standard comic book; PBK=paperback book; G=graphic novel; all others
are standard-sized soft-cover comic books); P=primary source (part of
Davidson collection); S=secondary source (culled from other lists). A
few comics printed outside the U.S. are included; country of origin is
shown when applicable. Since a full section of the Overstreet Comic Book
Price Guide is devoted to Special Purpose (or Promotional) comics, these
therefore are not included here. Price Guide also lists many Educational
comics, but since they are not identified as such by P.G., it is difficult to
locate the information. Still, P.G. may have additional facts about a
specific title in this list. A primary source is Univ. of Florida, George
Smathers Libraries, which house many sections of The Davidson Comics
Collection. See UFL’s “ImageText” internet site for a parallel list of these
Educational Comics.

Western Comics: Thousands of western
comic books have been published with
entertainment rather than education in
mind. Still, the better writers and artists
manage to convey a sense of place and
of history. Many of these will appear in
our planned Literature sequel to this list
(Zane Grey, Luke Short, Max Brand and
Ernest Haycox novels among others).
The also-rans are plentiful, easy to obtain
and generally inexpensive.
