Comic Book Superheroes Unmasked

This is something all comic book readers should watch!

It covers the history of Comic Books, a look at how politics play a role in the scripts, and some of the people behind our favorite characters.

You need to watch this!

As a kid and even today, I don’t consider myself a comic book guy.

I enjoy the stories and love reading them, but I am not very knowledgeable about the history of the characters, the name of writers, or a lot of the back stories about my favorite characters.

I partially blame this on the fact that as a kid my parents did let me buy comics because we didn’t have the money. I had the choice of buying a comic book or renting a video game over the weekend and video games won every time.

This is one of the reasons I found this video so fascinating.

A few things I took from this video:

  • Some people see Superman as the greatest superhero of them all. They say that at the begging of the video and I have to disagree!
  • Comic books were more politics than I realized.
  • Wonder Woman’s creator is amazingly interesting.
  • Marvel filled for Bankruptcy in the ’90’s
