Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and one hell of a good story
11 years ago
Back in the 'good old days', those being the late 1980's, I discovered comic books for the first time. Specifically X-Men #188 and Firestorm #33 at the local 7-Eleven. I've dabbled in them for the last 25 years or so, idling keeping interest in a few or a lot, depending on the year. Less so nowadays, but I was directed accidentally to this story by businessinsider.com. You can find it here: http://www.businessinsider.com/dc-c.....-marvel-2014-6 and it's a long, but very entertaining read on what DC Comics' "Problem" is. It's a wonderful story, even for those who haven't tread much into comics. But for those who have, it's quite revealing.
Perhaps as revealing as the fallacy behind the lie that 'Batman Was Created By Bob Kane'. Apparently Batman was mostly created by an underpaid writer by the name of Bill Finger. You can read up on that amusing tale here: http://comicsalliance.com/ask-chris.....ust-the-worst/ followed by a fun little encounter between comics legend Jim Steranko and Bob Kane at a comic book convention: http://comicsalliance.com/jim-stera.....slap-bob-kane/
Comic book goodness all around. Share and enjoy. :D
