Comic book views life through a modern lens

Writing by Chris on Monday, 31 of July , 2006 at 11:18 am

It still seems to weird to see mainstream press cover comic books.  And the fact they do it pretty well is weird.

It's a truth so often stated it's in danger of being pounded to cliché: The superhero, created in America 68 years ago, is a form of modern mythology. The ancient Norse had Thor, the Greeks had Hercules. We have, well . . . Thor and Hercules, but also Superman, Batman, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Wonder Man, Wonder Woman, Captains Marvel, America and Britain and, Speedball, about whom, more in a moment.

About Me

This is it. I'm not looking to become an Internet star, or buy a house off by adsense moneyz. Though I am willing to go with the flow on either.

You may have noticed that I am not a graphic designer. Or a real programmer. Or race car driver, though that may not be as obvious from the site itself. I apologize for any mistakes, ommisions, or eye gouging graphics choices I may have perpetrated on anyone through ths page
