History Of National Comic Book Day:
Comic books have been published throughout America from the English publication of a Swiss comic, The Adventures of Mr Obadiah Old buck, in 1842. It was thus the first American proto-comics book. Proto-comics first appeared in the mid-20th century, and the first comic that was standard-sized was Funnies on Parade.
The debut of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s Superman in 1938 transformed comics into a vast business, bringing about an era known as the Golden Age of Comics. The character archetype of the superhero was born. The historian Michael A. Amundson notes that comic book characters’ appeal has helped ease children’s fear of nuclear war and anxieties about the issues raised by nuclear power.
The story of the American comic book is typically divided into four periods. The Golden Age of Comic Books was born in the 1930s and is considered the beginning of the comic book genre. The Silver Age is considered the beginning of the revival of the previously dormant superhero genre, beginning when the Flash was introduced around 1956. The Silver Age continued into the 1970s when Marvel Comics revolutionized the medium with their real superheroes, such as The Fantastic Four and Spider-Man. The Bronze Age is less defined; however, it spans from the early 1970s to the mid-1980s. The Bronze Age is characterized by the return to darker plot elements and storylines that are more pertinent to issues of social concern, such as racism.
The Modern Age of Comics runs from the mid-1980s to today. In the initial 15 years of this era, many comic book characters were updated as creators gained recognition in the field, independent comics grew, and more prominent publishing companies became more commercial. The period is often known as “the Dark Age of Comic Books due to the acclaim and influence of comics with serious content like Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen.
