Stupid Comics!
Back when comic books were popular, even fairly unpopular heroes (like Jimmy Olsen- the messenger from Superman) had their own comics and they sold in the hundreds of thousands. This site looks back at some comics that weren't up there with the Captain America, fantastic Four, Superman or Spiderman. Some of the names are just wonderful- eg Spurt Hammond!
These provide a fascinating insight into the language of the times 1930s- 80s (eg Date a Gate!!) and there is a load of material on the site. Not full comics but plenty of examples to highlight why they are in Stupid Comics. The commentary on the site is just great e.g. "
The evil Radgio's plan to conquer Mercury is to use his machine that
converts normal people into giant six-armed super robots. He does this
in his laboratory, which is basically just a medieval dungeon full of
naked people. That Radgio is some kind of twisted."
