aus der heftserie »true comics«:
»TRUE COMICS was begun in 1941 to "counteract the wild, rowdy superhero comics," according to comics historian Ron Goulart [...]. The editors were David Marke, a historian, and later Elliot Caplin, a prolific comics writer. True Comics, it could be said, sparked a small genre of non-fiction newsstand comics. REAL HEROES, from the same publisher, lasted 21 issues (1941-1946), and other publishers produced similar titles: Real Life Comics (1941-1952), and Real Fact Comics (1946-1949), for example. True Comics was the most successful, lasting until 1950 and producing 84 issues.«
