Comic Book Fact
The Golden Age of comics was generally accepted as being from the 1930s right up to the mid 1950s. The American book realm prospered during that time and a lot of super stars that we see today were born in that era. Some we know as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Green Lantern, Hawkman and Robin belonged to the company called Detective Comics or DC. But before Marvel comics made an appearance there was a company called Timely comics and they launched their version of the super heroes in the shape of the Human Torch, the Sub-Mariner and Captain America. But it came as a surprise to know that Fawcett Comics super hero Captain Marvel outdid Superman and his contemporaries.
Comic Books Information
After the Golden Age of comic books came the Silver Age and this was followed by the Bronze Age which was the period between early 1970s and the mid 1980s. But now the tone of the comics was changing to a darker more adult theme.
The darkness was first emphasized by the death of Peter Parker's girlfriend of many years Gwen Stacy. The villain Green Goblin took a life for the first time and it was a sign that realism was making itself known in comics too. This incident somehow indicated the end of an era and the start of an entirely different one. Realism was taking a new and very bold step out. This acted as a wake up call and comic books took on the mantle of tackling social issues too.
The emergence of minority heroes of comic books dealt with social problems. With a co-star like Luke Cage it was clear that industries were keen on bringing in African Americans. Before Luke Cage comic book regulars were the likes of the Black Panther and Falcon. Since their stories had no portrayals that were stereotypical the resistance from these comics was not much while Luke Cage was being condemned as being just another ethnic typecast.
The X-men were a significant addition in comic books and they lent credence to the minorities. X–men were prejudiced against by humans as they were portrayed as mutants. This step of an evolution in humans was perhaps difficult for the Marvel comic world to swallow. Rebellion occurs when a particular thing is not understood or is feared. The X-men was an analogy to the minority with the underlying theory that if civilization could not handle the X-men as being mutants then would there be acceptance of the minority communities? It indicated a whole shift in the perception of humans as humans.

If someone would see my wit and humor and take me on to write a book-this is the kind I'd write! It made me laugh out loud. It also made me think. What better way to be entertained?
