What You Need To Know About Comic Books

By and large, the accepted time frame for the golden age of comic books ran from a period from the 1930's thru the mid-1950's. It was a prosperous time for the American comic book realm. Many of today's super heroes were inaugurated during this stage. Super heroes flourished in the golden age of comic books. Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Lady , Batman, Robin and Hawkman were some of the heroes a new company called Investigator Comics or DC comics, launched. In the 1940's a precursor to Wonder Comics, called Prompt Comics, introduced their version of the super hero brand. They included Captain America, The Human Torch and The Sub-Mariner. Ironically, the Captain Wonder cartoon books from Fawcett Comics outsold Superman and his associates in the golden period. There were hundreds of super powered and non super powered heroes that came and went.

The appearance of world war 2 helped shove the comic industries recognition. It was an inexpensive means to relax, read and imagine the good guys prevail over the bad guys. In those days, Superman regularly helped the allies frustrate Hitler and the axis powers. What better way to defeat the enemy than to watch the heroes in action? Defeating Hitler was on everybody's mind, and the strain relief comics provided was useful to a young man in a foreign land engaged in daily battles.

Superman, Batman and Robin helped the war effort by advertising war bonds. Uncle Sam might have wanted you, but the super heroes lending themselves to the war rhetoric helped the cause. Which one was more influential in the golden period of cartoon books : a sick looking old man who wanted you to battle, or young forceful super heroes that would do fantastic damages to the enemy? The answer's clear.

The war was significant and powerful in the development of the super heroes during the golden age. However, there were other factors too. There were comic books during that period that were not based on super heroes. The category began to change in the latter part of the golden period, particularly after World War Two. Westerns were taking firm root in society as the readership declined for the super heroes. Horror, love, satire and scifi all filled up the vacuum that was left during the decline. The downward trend was precipitated by, in my opinion, the ambiance of the times with McCarthyism and books being published that suggested comic books and their ilk were detrimental to the society's young people minds.

The introduction of the funny comics during the golden age were well-liked too.

Bugs bunny and Donald duck premiered. The funny comics instilled laughter in the crowd and that was important. The significance of laughter during nerve-wrangling times can't be exaggerated. The atmosphere was common with the arrival of the cold war and the atomic age. Bomb shelters littered the country. With that being said, the funny comic books helped people express amusement in their daily routine.

Whatever genre people chose to read, the Golden Age of comic books influenced the shaping the comic book market
