[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=236176 ''Five Colors for a Dime'']] is a thread on Website/AlternateHistoryDotCom by Neamathla. The point of divergence is in 1945, when Max Gaines buys out Harry Donnenfield's investment in Creator/DCComics, causing National Periodical Publications to fragment into DC and All American.

Also, by the mid-Eighties, all four remaining major publishers are in the hands of large conglomerates (but with the exception of Mighty, never the same companies), and [[spoiler:''Comicbook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage'' and ''ComicBook/CerebusTheAardvark'' get published on time in much of a recognizable form]].
* {{Superhero}}: The biggest genre for most of the timeline. Then come Crime, Science Fiction, Humor, Fantasy, and Slice of Life, in that order.
