who are the most important non-artist people in comic history?

[Paratrooper]

Without bothering to read the thread:

 

You forgot Eisner & Heath

[Robert Beerbohm]

I think Benjamin H Day and Mr WIlson, the two owners of Wilson & Co which evolved into Brother Jonathan's Cheap Book Establishment who, in Sept 1842 published & printed the first comic book in America ever: The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck

 

not to mention Oog, who invented cave drawing. Or the guy who invented ink, and paper, and paper trimmers, etc etc

 

How about the guy who owned the first newsstand? Does he count? or baling wire.

 

so fahn-neee, you be

1) first comic book printed in America was The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck 1842 NYC
