Line 54:
* A good portion of the [[Silver Age]] Marvel heroes started in other books. ''Tales of Suspense'', ''Journey Into Mystery'', ''Strange Tales'' and ''Tales to Astonish'' became books for [[Iron Man]], [[The Mighty Thor|Thor]], [[Doctor Strange]] and the [[Incredible Hulk]], respectively. None of these are running anymore, although ''Strange Tales'' has been converted to an indie anthology mini-series.
* Now that [[Writing for the Trade]] is standard operating procedure, "mainstream" [[Comic Books]] have turned into vehicles for shilling the graphic novels. Phil and Kaja Foglio came right out and said this when they converted ''[[Girl Genius]]'' into a [[Web Comic]].
** Though of course it's a mileage variance on whether this is "decay", since writing for the trade results in slightly more focused, concise storylines as opposed to the old tradition of ending practically every issue with a character looking shocked and a tiny text box reading "Next issue... MORE CLIFFHANGERS!" (With the real answer being that it depends on how well either story style is written.)
