I’m going to be teaching comic book history (an extracurricular lesson of my choice) because I’m very fond of comics and I’m also somewhat of a collector. So, I have lots of comic books from mostly any genres, but I’d like some guidance so as to which ones are the most important or have made the biggest impression or had an impact on comics. Like the Death of Superman or Don Rosa’s The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. I should also mention the whole Seduction of the Innocent too right?
First of all, props to you for teaching this class! I’ve always wanted to study the history of comics so I’m more than glad to give some suggestions. Note that I’m only familiar with superhero comic-book history, since I don’t have much experience with the alternative genre etc.
- The Golden Age (How comic-books began, and the popularity of superheroes first came into existence)
- Seduction of the Innocent (Wertham’s stupid philosophy, book, the reaction, and how ironically he recently stated that he didn’t believe that comic books were ‘bad’ after all)
-The Creation of the CCA (The Comics-Code Authority, how they nearly murdered the comic-book market and it’s effect on the industry such as horror comics)
- The Coming of Marvel (How Marvel managed to join DC as one of the largest comic-book giants, and currently even beating DC to hold the largest share of the comic-book market)
- The Modern Age (Beginning from DKR and Watchmen, how comic-books were shown to be more than children’s stories and how there are some things that only the comic-book format can do)
- The Speculator Boom (I believe this was around the 90s, when variant covers were the craze, Image Comics recently came up, and every character either held giant cannons or had thousands of pockets dangling from their belts.
Of course, these are just major events in the history of the industry, but if you’re looking for fictitious events that were covered in the mainstream media you can read up about the Death of Superman, the Knightfall Batman arc, the wedding of Spider-Man, and the Death of Captain America, all of which received media attention.
If you want to show your class how much superhero comics have developed since the Golden Age, ShadowHawk by Jim Valentino is a good choice. His identity was not known to anyone, not even the reader and he was a black hero fighting a white supermacist. Not only that, but he was infected with AIDS and unlike most superhero comics, he eventually succumb to this disease and died, an event that received widespread media coverage.

I’m a Jesus follower and I can’t seem to find a website that has a scriptural viewed review of comic books. Any help is appreciated.
i don’t think they would, most anime is japanese culture based, therefore most of the background, religion wise would be based on buddhism, or shintoism.
also since you are a christian, here is an e-mail, i think you should check it out they know so much about things like this, and info about an upcoming christian event.
