It's powerful emotion a-go-go as Pete Ross, Clark Kent and Superboy form a bizarre love triangle! EXTRA! Pete Ross - TEMPTED BY SATAN HIMSELF to give up Clark!

Austin, hush! If you were as grown-up and logical as Pete Ross, you'd never say something like that!

There were no periods in that comic! At all! Not a single one! How declaritively odd!

And how completely unusual for a pulp comic printed between 1930 and 1980! I've never seen that before! At all!

Try 1990, Kit! Superhero books are NOTHING if not EXCLAMATORY!

I was thinking Baxter paper came in around 1982, 1984, and low-cost printing tech had improved a bunch before then. Also at that time BIFF POW SUPERHEROS WEREN'T JUST FOR KIDS ANYMORE, and so aside from fears of full-stops being lost in shitty printing (the reason it became stylistically entrenched), it became aesthetically desirable to write dialogue and captions in styles that didn't come off like you were shouting at retards... I'm sure most Marvel & DC comics would read better these days if they were suddenly forced to end every sentence with an exclamation point again!
