The superhero comic has been around for nearly one hundred years, considered to originate in 1938 with the creation of Superman. Many comics from prior to the modern ages still hold up to this day, with many fans revisiting the original Action Comics, some 1970s Batman, and all kinds of Silver Age Marvel titles.Though, like all long-running things, some older comics have to be not so great. While many classics are still adored to this day, there are many influential ones whose readability falls to the wayside at times. “Classic” doesn’t necessarily mean “good”, in many cases.The superhero was invented in response to World War 2, being a representation of the anti-fascist, anti-Nazi beliefs of the youth of America at the time. However, following the defeat of Germany and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, America’s interest in the Nazis vanished almost instantly, leaving superheroes stuck. While they tried to carry on for a while, titles such as Superman and Captain America began to fall apart, failing desperately to maintain relevance as science fiction and western books started to come back into the forefront. By the time the Silver Age was on the horizon, the Golden Age was truly a mess, with many of its major titles being unenjoyable—and unsuccessful—attempts at keeping reader interest.
