A quick blog about why I love comic books and the characters involved.
It's simple really. It's what I grew up with and was constantly attached to, as with many, many other things. But comic book characters always struck me as so much more. So much more pure and enigmatic then any other characters that I was influenced by or grew up watching or reading about. I believe comic books taught me how to read, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't following the dialouge bubbles right. was confusing back in the mid 90's. But the characters! Like any of The X-Men I loved or Spider-man, Batman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. These characters to me are gods amonug folklore and as American as anything in our existence.
If you think about it comics have been around since the newspaper. All those satirical political jabs those cartoons would take back then were harding hitting. Superheroes came around after World War 2 and I bet those creators really wanted to take their minds off the wars, and thus super heroes of all kinds were born. And I'm so happy that those braves souls created these characters. In a way the heroes like Superman, Batman, Spider-man, The X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Avengers can somehow honor and represent those who fought in the wars. These characters will live on forever just like those men and women who served and fell.
I try to draw a lot courage and strength from superheroes because they can be so many things to so many different people. Maybe you can relate to the character on just one small detail. But that detail might stick. They being fictional characters are more important then some people. Not to sound like a terrible, careless human being, but these characters will out live us long after we're dead. They will literally being passed down like greek mythology stories taught in schools. Could superheroes ever be taught in schools? I would love to be that teacher.
