Errors and omissions from the first edition are listed below by page.
Milestones in the Development of Comic Art Studies (pages 267-269) "I appreciate
your mention of me . . . but I noticed too some errors. For example, my book Comics as Culture appeared
in 1990, simultaneously with Rusty Witek’s Comic Books as History from UP of Mississippi, and not in 1979 as
you have it. I think you have confused this with my having edited in 1979 a special issue of Studies in Popular
Culture with the same title 'The Comics as Culture.' And that was the issue in which Bob Harvey’s
influential essay appeared." --M. Thomas Inge
Other Examples of Comic Book Genres (page 215) "I noticed a
misprint on the dating of the run of Classics Illustrated, on p. 215. The span for the series indicated in the box
should read '1941-1971' rather than '1947-1951.' I don't think that I had caught that before. (I
understand you may have been treating 1947, the year of the name change from Classic Comics, as the inception of
the series, but Gilberton reissued all of the first 34 CC titles under the CI logo and always regarded the
publication history as a seamless whole.)"--Bill Jones
Discovering: Educational Comics (page 281)
"There was, however, a typo on p. 281: 'Silas Mar[i]ner' should be 'Silas Marner'--see
p. 6 of Classics Illustrated: A Cultural History."--Bill Jones
