The stereotype that comic books are only for white, nerdy males no longer stands true as the audience opens up to females from various cultures and races. This being said, characters within comic…

Batman: The Long Halloween, and Watchmen, are very similar in some areas, and very different in some areas. Both books describe the hardships with being a super heroes, such as dealing with death of innocents, betrayed, misconceptions on some people. The Long Halloween still kept the superhero tradition of solving a mystery, beating the bad guy in a unique way, but at the same time, still following the typical tradition.

Marvel Comics, but rather as, Timely Publications (TIMELINE).

they stood for the greater good. The graphic novel I’ve decided to analyze is Batman: A death in the family written by Jim Starlin and published by DC comics in December of 1988. Batman a death in the family was far ahead of its time and brought something fresh and new to the world of comics. Before American Idol, this was the 1st true test of American phone voting. In just 36 hours DC received more 10,000 calls. Jim starin was born on October 9th 1949, in Detroit Michigan, he served in the…

Lee got a gig as an editorial gofer at Goodman’s Timely Publications in 1940 and soon started writing scripts for its burgeoning lineup of titles. He usually signed them as “Stan Lee” because — so goes his oft-told anecdote — he wanted to save his real name for when he would someday write the great American novel. He’s earned a paycheck from the company, in its constantly…

Throughout the comic, Captain America and his team believe that the government shouldn’t have a say in the way they are run because it limits their ability to do good. On the other hand, Iron Man and his team believe that they should be regulated by the government and elected officials. The Civil War demonstrates what happens when a society is stripped of their civil liberties.
