The Yellow Kid is usually credited as the first.

While the Platinum Age saw the first use of the term " comic book " ( The Yellow Kid in McFadden's Flats ( 1897 )), the first known full-color comic ( The Blackberries ( 1901 )), and the first monthly comic book ( Comics Monthly ( 1922 )), it was not until the Golden Age that the archetype of the superhero would originate.

The Yellow Kid

The Yellow Kid was the name of a lead comic strip character that ran from 1895 to 1898 in Joseph Pulitzer's New York World, and later William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal.

The Yellow Kid is also famous for its connection to the coining of the term Yellow Journalism.

Mickey Dugan, better known as The Yellow Kid, was a bald, snaggle-toothed boy who wore an oversized yellow nightshirt and hung around in a slum alley typical of certain areas of squalor that existed in turn of the 19th to 20th century New York City.

The character who would later become the Yellow Kid, first appeared on the scene in a minor supporting role in cartoon panels published in Truth Magazine in 1894 and 1895.

Hogan's Alley gradually became a full-page Sunday color cartoon with the Yellow Kid as its lead character, which was also appearing several times a week.

The character later known as the Yellow Kid had minor supporting roles in the strip's early panels.

A year and a half later Outcault was drawing the Yellow Kid for Hearst's New York Journal in a full-page color Sunday supplement as McFadden's Row of Flats.

In 1896 Outcault was hired away at a much higher salary to William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal American where he drew the Yellow Kid in a new full-page color strip which was significantly violent and even vulgar compared to his first panels for Truth magazine.

Pulitzer, who had retained the copyright to Hogan's Alley, hired George Luks to continue drawing the original ( and now less popular ) version of the strip for the World and hence the Yellow Kid appeared simultaneously in two competing papers for about a year.

Outcault produced three subsequent series of Yellow Kid strips at the Journal American, each lasting no more than four months:

* Around the World with the Yellow Kid-a strip that sent the Kid on a world tour in the manner of Nellie Bly ( 17 January-30 May 1897 )

The two newspapers which ran the Yellow Kid, Pulitzer's World and Hearst's Journal American, quickly became known as the yellow kid papers.

The Yellow Kid appeared now and then in Outcault's later cartoon strips, most notably Buster Brown.

Outcault's word balloons in the Yellow Kid influenced the basic appearance and use of balloons in subsequent newspaper comic strips and comic books.
