Retro American Comics

Midjourney Prompt

American comic book culture is a rich and diverse world that has been a part of popular culture for nearly a century. The roots of American comic books can be traced back to the early 20th century, with the publication of comic strips in newspapers. However, it wasn't until the late 1930s and early 1940s that the comic book as we know it today began to emerge.

One of the most notable aspects of American comic book culture is the superhero genre, which is dominated by iconic characters such as Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, and the X-Men. Superheroes are known for their extraordinary abilities, their colorful costumes, and their epic battles against supervillains.

In addition to superheroes, American comic books also explore a wide variety of other genres, including horror, science fiction, fantasy, and romance. Comic book creators use a combination of words and images to tell stories that range from the whimsical to the profound.

• The first comic book featuring an all-original superhero was "Action Comics" #1, which introduced Superman in 1938.

• The first African-American superhero to have his own comic book was Black Panther, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1966.

• The first graphic novel, which is a longer, more complex form of comic book storytelling, was Will Eisner's "A Contract with God" in 1978.
