Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SDLIBT_220720_018.JPG: "Dime Novels" The first dime novels were initially published around the start of the American Civil War. These sensational stories were full of romance and adventure, typically telling the dramatic adventure stories of a single hero or heroine. The books were simple in appearance, bound in cheap paper with brightly illustrated covers and they averaged about 100 pages. They became wildly popular in both the United States and in England, where they were known as "penny dreadfuls." Named for their cheap prices, dime novels were sold at newsstands and dry goods stores for a dime or a nickel apiece. The mechanization of printing, cheaper types of paper, a greater rate of distribution, updated shipping methods and a significant rise in literacy rates, all allowed for the mass production and consumption of the works. In addition, the shift in the home from the use of candles to oil lamps made it easier for readers to continue reading late into the night. Dime novels evolved into story papers, children's series books, and the popular genre of pulp fiction magazines. As with the pulps, many acclaimed writers of the time period wrote for the dime novels, including Louise May Alcott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Jack London.

3. SDLIBT_220720_051.JPG: "Pulp Fiction" [had been updated since I last photographed it] Pulp magazines ("the pulps") were inexpensive magazines produced in America from the early 1900s until the 1950s. They succeeded "dime novels" as cheap fiction that sold widely. Pulps were printed on cheap paper with ragged, untrimmed edges. But the covers, printed on better quality slick paper, featured full-color art -- often lurid and sensational. Interior illustrations were black and white, pen drawings. The magazines were prices at 10 to 25 cents apiece and typically ran 128 pages or a little more. The pulps were usually produced monthly -- sometimes weekly. Paper shortages in World War II added to the costs of pulps and forced some publishers to reduce the format to a smaller, digest size. When the genre declined it was replaced by comic books and paperback novels. Many respected authors wrote for the pulps, such as Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Erle Stanley Gardner, Dashiell Hammett, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Zane Grey. Memorable characters introduced by the pulps included Buck Rogers, Conan the Barbarian, Doc Savage, Flash Gordon, The Shadow, and Zorro.
4. SDLIBT_220720_066.JPG: Krazy Kat is an American newspaper comic strip, by cartoonist George Herriman, which ran from 1913 t 1944. It first appeared in the New York Evening Journal, whose owner, Willian [sic] Randolph Hearst, was a booster for the strip.
5. SDLIBT_220720_079.JPG: Comic books emerged in the 1930s. At first the books reprinted humorous newspaper strips, but later they began to feature unique content. Superheroes entered the world of comic books in 1938 with the release of Action Comics No. 1 and the debut of Superman.
6. SDLIBT_220720_101.JPG: Akira was first released in December 1982, as a serialized manga in the pages of Kodansha's Young Magazine. It was created by Katsuhiro Otomo, who made his debut as a manga writer and illustrator in 1983. It was initially published in the United States by Marvel Comics under its Epic imprint, becoming one of the first manga works to be translated in its entirety into English.
7. SDLIBT_220720_117.JPG: In the 1990s, many comic book characters were redesigned, creators gained prominence in the industry, independent comics flourished, and larger publishing houses became more commercialized.

9. SDLIBT_220720_131.JPG: Founded in 1976 by Gary Groth and Mike Catron, Fantagraphics published over 5,000 comic books and graphic novels over the next four decades, confirming its reputation as a champion for cartoonists who don't fit within the commercial confines of traditional corporate publishing.
10. SDLIBT_220720_149.JPG: The Comic-Con tie-in talks would be held here. Interestingly, you didn't need a badge to get into these -- they were open to the public and they didn't require vaccination certificates unlike the regular sessions.
