Four Color History

| | Comments (1)
Here's a neat bit of St. Louis history I never knew: This is the town where the Man of Steel first met the printed page.
This was World Color Printing, born in St. Louis in 1904 as the official printer for the World's Fair. In the first half of the twentieth century, World Color printed the majority of comic books sold in America; debut issues of Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and many others first landed on paper here. The landmark has been demolished.

Interesting. I had no idea that happened in St. Louis. My daughter would be proud. :)
