Star Comics #2


Book Description

STAR COMICS #2THE PRE-GOLDEN AGE CLASSICHUMOR - ADVENTURE - HISTORY - FANTASY - MORE!In the days before the Golden Age, when the comic books were still an untested and new experience, STAR COMICS entered the scene. The humor is often crude, politically incorrect, even racist; the adventures fresh and exciting; the art some of the best of the day. It only lasted six issues --- but it made an indelible mark on the history of comics and the culture of the country!We're publishing the first five issues (plus portions of the sixth, until we can obtain the complete files) individually, OR you can get it as the three-volume STAR COMICS COLLECTION ---- OR get it all under one cover in the 350-plus page CLASSIC COMICS LIBRARY #35!Typically CLASSIC COMICS LIBRARY books are ALL STORIES - NO ADS. We've made some exceptions for STAR COMICS, because the ads are unique and in themselves a part of comic history, not published hundreds of times in many different books.Get the complete catalog by [email protected] - This book was created in the 1930's, and reflects the culture or the day. As a result, some of the characters and stories are politically incorrect, even racist. We don't condone this way of thinking, but to remove it would be to change the history of who we were as a country, scars and all.




All New, All Different?


Book Description

Taking a multifaceted approach to attitudes toward race through popular culture and the American superhero, All New, All Different? explores a topic that until now has only received more discrete examination. Considering Marvel, DC, and lesser-known texts and heroes, this illuminating work charts eighty years of evolution in the portrayal of race in comics as well as in film and on television. Beginning with World War II, the authors trace the vexed depictions in early superhero stories, considering both Asian villains and nonwhite sidekicks. While the emergence of Black Panther, Black Lightning, Luke Cage, Storm, and other heroes in the 1960s and 1970s reflected a cultural revolution, the book reveals how nonwhite superheroes nonetheless remained grounded in outdated assumptions. Multiculturalism encouraged further diversity, with 1980s superteams, the minority-run company Milestone’s new characters in the 1990s, and the arrival of Ms. Marvel, a Pakistani-American heroine, and a new Latinx Spider-Man in the 2000s. Concluding with contemporary efforts to make both a profit and a positive impact on society, All New, All Different? enriches our understanding of the complex issues of racial representation in American popular culture.
