comic book history
Comic book history began in the late 19th century, evolving from earlier forms of illustrated storytelling. The first modern comic book, Famous Funnies, was published in 1933, featuring reprints of popular comic strips. The Golden Age of Comics followed in the 1930s and 1940s, introducing iconic characters like Superman and Batman, which helped establish the superhero genre.
The Silver Age, starting in the late 1950s, saw a resurgence in popularity with more complex characters and storylines, exemplified by Spider-Man and X-Men. Over the decades, comic books have diversified, exploring various genres and themes, and have become a significant part of popular culture worldwide.
