I also found a part on IGN.com, which is a website founded in September 1996, which focuses on video games, films, music and other media.

Q: How Comics started getting bigger?

A: The origin of comics is difficult to define. Ask three experts the first comic book and you will get three different answers. However, the one that everybody knows appeared later in 1842 with simple drawings and captions in America. That is similar to the comics today. Modern comic books grew out of comic strips, which were almost always humorous and those short narratives with just a few panels. Comic strips were just one of the phases in the evolution of comic books. In the 1930s, many still-famous characters, such as Popeye and Little Orphan Annie appeared on newsstands and in gas stations in the form of cartoon books. In 1933, the modern comic began to take shape in the form of "Funnies on Parade." These started o attach people's eyes.

Q: How did DC change comics? 

A: In 1935, DC Comics printed the first comic book filled with mostly new material instead of comic strip reprints. It introduced the American public to brand-new characters and new style of comics. After a long time, comics finally became very important and a true cultural force. Superman was born with amazing speed, more power than a locomotive. That was the legend of comic book and world-famous American icon. 

During World War II, superhero-themed comic books were enormously popular. In some of the most popular titles, iconic superheroes battled (and always defeated) the forces of evil in ongoing series. Other, non-hero characters were hugely popular, too.

Q:Why do we love superheroes?

A: Superhero stories are mostly science fiction, fantasy and even romance. They thrive in allowing the audience to transport themselves to other worlds that are both simpler and more exciting than their own. On the other hand, they force the audience to remain in this world, accomplishing their escapist thrills not by wishing the world away, but by wishing the world were different.

In the next blog, I plan to focus on comics in other countries. I will talk about some featured characters and the difference between them and american comics.
