Highlights Of 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. Plenty of today's super heroes were inaugurated in this stage. Super heroes flourished in the golden age of comic books. Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Batman, Robin and Hawkman were some of the heroes that a new company called Detective 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 advent of world war two helped propel the comic book industries popularity. It was a cheap means to chill, read and imagine the good fellows overcome over the wise guys. In those days, Superman regularly helped the allies thwart Hitler and the axis powers. What easier way to conquer the enemy than to look at 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 is evident.
The war was important and powerful in the development of the super heroes in the golden period. But there were other things too. There were comic books in that period that weren't based on super heroes. The genre started to change during the latter part of the golden age, especially after World War Two. Westerns were taking firm root in society as the readership fell for the super heroes. Horror, love, satire and scifi all filled up the vacuum that was left during the decline. The declining trend was lead to by, in my viewpoint, the ambiance of the times with McCarthyism and books to be published that recommended cartoon books and their ilk were damaging to the society's younger 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 rife with the arrival of the cold war and the atomic age. Bomb shelters littered the country. With that said, the funny comics helped folk express amusement in their daily agenda.
Whatever genus folk selected to read, the golden period of cartoon books influenced the shaping the comic book market
