Info about Comic Books
Famous comic books
Remember when you were a kid and you were waiting even a few hours at the newsstand to get your hands on the latest issue of the Fantastic Four or of the Amazing Spider Man. There was a nice feeling when you finally got your hands on a comic book and it was even greater to follow a hero like Bat-Man or Super Man from their creation to their ultimate fate. Comic books became cultural movements and their fans never let them down. But which are the most famous comic books out there? Which are those ground breaking superheroes they house?
One of the most famous comic books of all time is the X-MEN. This comic book incorporates a lot of innovation. It doesn’t follow the fate of only one super hero but of a whole squad of super trained super heroes. Their leader Charles Xavier was the one who founded the institute where he watched over and trained his X-Men. Amongst the most famous characters of this comic book lies Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Gambit and Jean Grey. Another great comic that became a hit is the Amazing Spider Man. The comic book got very known and appreciated by a large audience because of the way it is constructed. It follows Spider Man also known as Peter Parker, through his development as a super hero but as well as a human being trying to fit into society. Taking all of this into consideration you may say that The Amazing Spider Man is based on a concept of bildungsroman because it follows the main character as he evolves and develops along with the evolution of the comic book. Bat Man is another comic book that got the spotlight for a long period of time. This comic book was praised because of the dark ambience in which Bat Man lived. The comic gives you a feeling of film noir where the hero is always having an inner fight with his own demons but he doesn’t really show it but you can feel it. The thing that made Bat Man a great hero is the fact that he doesn’t have any super powers besides the fact that he is trained in martial arts and has great strength. His “super powers” are his great strength and intelligence. This is only one reason why Bat Man was and is a great and famous comic book.
If you’re grown up now, then just remember the times when these comics first appeared and how you loved them. There is something about comic books that make you feel like you’re a little kid again.
