Overview The Comic Bible magazine gained immediate recognition in the early 1990s as the only publication dedicated entirely to the comedy industry. It provided comedy entertainment coverage and resources for the industry. The first issues of the Comic Bible appeared in booklet form and contained comedy club listings, basic tips and advice. It then became a 5.5 x 8.5 inch perfect bound publication (Library of Congress , 1997). The Comic Bible Magazine also sponsored and produced several high-profile comedy events. Under the banner of its “Laughter for a Good Cause” program, The Comic Bible Magazine brought awareness to charitable causes.
