Comic books have been popular since the early 1920s. One of the first and most famous of these great writers is A. D. Condo, the author of Mr. Skygack from Mars. A gag group strip found in U. S. Newspapers in the 1930s and early 1940s. The United States along with Japan remain the two largest publishers of science fiction comic books. The UK runs a close second with authors who began developing fantastical themes into various publications in the 1950s.
Buck Rogers was birthed in the 1960s along with Brick Bradford, Flash Gordon and Dan Dare. Superman followed a short time later. Science fiction comic book authors are responsible for the birthing and growth of this great genre, especially A. D. Condo. Without Mr. Skygack from Mars, the entire genre may have never been realized.
A new wave of morality brought about by those believing these books were bad for children in the mid-60s, created a strong emotional response in parents. Many of which disallowed their children to read such material. Regardless of this opposition and a book called Seduction of the Innocent, by Frederick Wertham, the genre still remains popular.
It was not long before the industry rebounded with new books and characters aimed at teens and young adults. During this period, another wave of new material hit the market. Among these new releases were comic books, music and posters related to free love, hippies and music.
In the 1950s, Japan saw a rise in publications by new writers. Anime became the next stage when the focus became more on creating animated characters. One of the earliest comic books known as manga included Osamu Tezuka's strip, Astro Boy. A large collection of anime has since been released by others which has created a huge and ongoing interest in the genre.
Dan Dare was the earliest well known character to come alive in the UK. The Trigan Empire released in the 1960s is often considered the most popular of all the series. It is believed this success is due to the series being included in a book called Look and Learn. The goal of the book being to teach children about art and entertainment.
Other authors have become more well known all over the world since the establishment of the internet. Web strips have since also become extremely popular. The most well known of these are most likely two of the earliest, Polymer City Chronicles and Starship Crisis. The internet has allowed a venue for artists and authors all over the world to connect and interact while sharing various forms of art, including comics and graphic novels.
People today can read comic books online, in the traditional form or view many which have been turned into movies or television shows. The latter is especially true when it comes to Japanese comics in which many are now part of a new genre known as anime. Anime includes a vast number of components beyond comics, some of these are animation, including cartoon, clay and live action, games like Pokemon, role playing and a growing video collection.
