Electronics Themed Comics
June 1945 Radio-Craft

June 1945 Radio-Craft

June 1945 Radio Craft Cover - RF Cafe[Table of Contents]

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio-Craft, published 1929 - 1953. All copyrights are hereby acknowledged.

Here are a few more electronics-themed comics from magazines of the days of yore. Radio-Craft readers submitted ideas for funnies and then artist Frank Beaven would draw the comics based on their ideas. Some months had no comics, and others had half a dozen or more. This June 1945 issue had three. There is also one from the May 1946 Radio News. You website site visitors not familiar with vacuum tube construction might need to know that the jailhouse bars in "Control Grid" comic are an allusion to the wire mesh type element in tubes that modulated electron flow from the cathode to the anode. I once again colorized the comics to make them more attractive. Enjoy.
