Where has the romance gone? And the horror? And the crime? What of westerns, for that matter? All of this is of course a collection of queries pertaining to the history of comics and genres that have largely been abandoned by creators and publishers. How is it that Superman remains a timeless character while so many other heroes, even those who once enjoyed their own titles, have disappeared completely? Why are there so many comics based on movies, television, literature, and even video games these days?
While all of these questions are not directly addressed in this issue of “Hey Kids, Comics!”, they do typify the issues at hand as Cole and his special guest Bobby Blakey explore how changes in the overall public consciousness put pressure on publishers to keep up with the times. What made a great comic in your grandfather’s day might seem laughable by today’s standards. Tune in and enjoy this latest installment of “From Funny Books to Graphic Fiction” and see how the industry and the medium have evolved throughout their joined history!
