In the latest Drawing Crazy Patterns, where we spotlight five recurring themes in comics, we examine five times that comic books changed their official title secretly enough that few readers likely even noticed. An important term in the world of comic books that likely doesn’t get used as much nowadays since the double whammy of the direct market (which eventually completely supplanted the old newsstand distribution system for comic books, and changed the shipping systems for comic books, as well) and the rise of the internet (which made it easy for anyone to look up a company’s address online in a few seconds) is the indicia, the section of a comic book and/or magazine that lists the official name of the title, the address of the company that publishes the comic and/or magazine, the shipping rate that covers the comic book and/or magazine and dispenses with various legal liabilities (you know, “Any similarity between any character in this comic book and a real life person, living or dead, is purely coincidental,” stuff like that).So here, then, are five times that comic book titles changed their “official” titles on their indicia, while the title of the cover didn’t change at all.
