16-month hanging calendar of frame-ready Pre-Code crime comic book covers + commentary

Investigate the past with this collection of Pre-Code crime comic book art, a collection of classic crime comic book covers from the Golden Age of comic publishing. Pre-Code crime comic books, flourishing in the early 20th century before the implementation of the Comics Code Authority in 1954, pushed the boundaries of storytelling with their gritty and often controversial content. These comics featured tales of underworld activities, crime syndicates, and antiheroes engaging in morally ambiguous behavior. With their bold and sometimes shocking visuals, Pre-Code crime comics captivated readers with their raw depiction of urban life and the darker aspects of human nature. The Asgard Press 2024 Vintage Crime Comics Calendar features full color Golden Age comic book covers, accompanied by in-depth commentary each month from pop culture historian Dr. Arnold T. Blumberg in the form of a 12-part essay on Pre-Code comics. With its large vertical format of 11×15 inches, our wire-bound wall calendar opens to an impressive 11×30 inches. The perforated design allows for easy removal of each month’s image, making them a perfect fit for standard 11×14 inch frames. Generously sized grid spaces leave plenty of room to keep track of all your appointments, reminders, and events. With this calendar, you can turn your home or office wall into a gallery of cool comics while you keep track of all your events at a glance.
