    Fiction House became defunct in 1955 and i believe a lot of their "copyright deposits" landed at the LOC. Looking to confirm this soon. Furthermore after Werthem in 1954, there is a section in LOC for "mature books"...looking to confirm this as well. Stay tuned..I'm enjoying this thread if its not apparent.

    Yes, i din't want to imply anything about your copy. But i have a feeling it was checked out, but never checked back in...

    I dealt with the LOC with my project because they have information beyond some of the usual databases such as Digital Comic Museum, GCD etc. Also they are all about getting the information to the public. So if you're doing a publication, film, documentary; they share a lot of additional historic information beyond the books themselves.

    I am currently researching a project and have reached out to the Library of Congress. They have been magnificent. Gov't at its finest. I had NO IDEA about these stamps though.Thank you for sharing!

    Even more interesting: Using the Comic Book Collection Comic books are circulated for use in the Newspaper and Current Periodical Room for those doing research of a specific nature, leading toward a publicly available work such as a publication, thesis, or dissertation; a radio, film, or television production; or a public performance. Self-service photocopying of comic books is prohibited. In some cases photocopies may be obtained through the Photoduplication Service of the Library of Congress. When researching comic books, collectors are usually interested in price and condition, whereas women's studies scholars may look on them as an art form, a popular culture medium, or a historical artifact. Unfortunately, many periodicals that focus on comic books are not indexed in abstracting and indexing services.

    This is an interesting paragraph from the link i posted: The largest collection of comics books in the United States is housed in the Serial and Government Publications Division. The collection includes U.S. and foreign comic books—over 5,000 titles in all, totaling more than 100,000 issues. Primarily composed of the original print books, the collection includes color microfiche of a handful of the early comic books (such as Wonder Woman, Superman, and Action Comics) and special reprints. Although the collection is most comprehensive from 1950, scattered issues from numerous titles date back to the 1930s. A small number of comic books make up the Underground Comic Book collection of titles “recommended for mature readers.” The Library acquires comic books published and distributed in the United States almost exclusively through copyright deposit. Titles are added to the collection on the basis of quality of text and graphic depiction; significance of the artist, writer, or publisher; originality of story or main character; the title's popularity as reflected in circulation statistics or media attention; representation of new ideas or social trends; or availability through copyright.
