FOR THE CHILDREN:
America needs a good 12¢ Patriotic Comic.
These comic books were produced by the School and College Service division of the Association of American Railroads in 1959 & 1960. The cover art is by Bill Bunce. An interesting promotional comic covering railroad history during the Civil War. These pdfs can be downloaded and printed out on regular paper. Their actual size is standard 7x10 comic size, 16-pages, full color, newsprint cover and interior. This comic book and others like the Classics Illustrated series encouraged many a child in the 1950's and 60's to read, taught good citizenship, ethics, and inspired imagination before comics became more violent and overpriced.
