Sinopse
Comics grow up: The humanized super hero
On December 15, 1978, the dreams of generations of American children finally came true.
Youll believe a man can fly read the posters and billboards for the blockbuster film
Superman
. The hugely popular movie cemented the role of the Super Hero as
Americas most enduring archetype
, and the comic book as one of the countrys most significant native art forms.That art
form, however, was already moving in a new direction. Influenced by the emergence of
underground comics and shifting political tides
, DC Comics line of comics was increasingly aimed at adults, and sold in comic book
shops, rather than on newsstands. Socially relevant subjects such as racism and womens
rights had entered the mainstream, and comics werent just for kids anymore.This
reader-friendly sized edition explores the evolution into the Bronze Age of DC with a
careful curation and expansion of material from TASCHENs XL book,
75 Years of DC Comics
, winner of the Eisner Awards, the Oscars of the comic world. Bountiful images bring the
story lines, characters and creators to life, alongside an original interview with Green
Lantern/Green Arrow writer Denny ONeil.
