"THE ADVENTURES OF OBADIAH OLDBUCK
By Rodolphe Töpffer.
The First American Comic Book. Originally published in 1842, more than half
a century before the creation of Yellow Kid! <snip>

I'll have to order it some time.>>

this is an extremely limited limited edition to the USA (not sure how many 
copies were printed for Europe though) -- and while the first American comic 
book -- it was a reprint of a European comic.   And Bud Plant and Bob Beerbaum 
(which i misspelled) were the only USA dealers to import copies of this reprint. 
 

  Don there is a group devoted to pre-1930s comics (platinum at yahoo or is 
it platinum comics at yahoo) - I'll be happy to post questions for you there if 
you don't want to join,.,,
