How do comic books reflect on the world? Superheroes in comic books were created to feel safe. Editorial comic strips challenge us to think differently about politics and social issues.
Information for this research project was obtained from Volume I and II of James Steranko's History of Comics, published in 1970 and 1972. "The Education of Green Lantern: Culture and Ideology," by Jessie T. Moore, published in The Journal of American Culture in June of 2003, was also used, along with "Jim Salrip, On When Spider-Man Fought Pedophiles," from the website, Bleeding Cool and James Woodring's "Archie Comics of the 1960's as a mirror to fads, fashion, and trends," from the website, Incrowd.
The purpose of the research was to to show how comic books use the modern world to help them form plots and stories to interest readers. The research paper also gives examples of how comics can also leave a lasting image on the world.
