This is a work-in-progress, where I list and link to scans of the original comic books that I have used as source material in my work.
A generous community of comics collectors, fans, and experts maintain two sites which host massive repositories of scanned comic books that have entered the public domain: The Digital Comics Museum and Comic Book +. The links I provide here are to Comic Book +. At the site, you can read the full comic books and, if you create a free account, download your own copies.
The original comic books are almost entirely uncredited, but The Grand Comics Database keeps an invaluable list of known contributors. So please consult for all known credits.
I’ve also begun adding citations for the pieces of photos (primarily from Dorothea Lange’s work for the Farm Security Administration during the Great Depression) also used in my pages. These links are to the New York Public Library’s Digital Collections. Check back for more citations!
