Thank you for making this video Arris & the Variant Crew!! I actually wrote a 15-page essay on the use of Golden Age comic books as propaganda during the 2nd World War for my college alumni’s Visual Propaganda course. And let’s say I passed!!

@goldenageguru 4 года назад

Horror HistorIan wow, that’s a whole video on its own. Sounds like an amazing read.

@CruikshankSCP 4 года назад

@@goldenageguru Yeah, a good majority of it was why and how the US got into the war in the first place (I am sure that you learned about that in history class) and it goes into detail about how the comic books were used as propaganda to the children who read the comics. And a classic of that is Captain America #1 where the cover shows Cap punching Hitler in the face. Another example I used was World's Finest #8 where Superman, Batman and Robin were encouraging people to buy War Bonds

When do the competition start between Marvel and DC

@goldenageguru 4 года назад

David Irwin Marvel Comics 1 was there first book in 1939 and they hit the ground running. Captain America came out in March of 1941 and was an instant hit as well so you could say that was when they really got into the swing of things and were firing on all cylinders with many great superheroes under their belt by then.

@mewow483 4 года назад

60's

@NP-zv4bf 4 года назад

I would say 60’s bc that’s when most of marvel’s main lineup started to appear so

@goldenageguru 3 года назад

@*Zechariah Solomon National Comics Periodical(which became DC officially in the late 70’s) did come before Timely(Eventually Marvel), but there was no competition between the two till Timely showed up its own comics on the news stand(Marvel Comics 1 in 1939). Was answering the question of when the competition began between the two, in respect to the GA time frame.

My GA collection started when I went to a local auction and out bid another for an adventure comics 116 ($22). After that I went to an estate sale. Their newspaper auction ad advertised for 10 cent funny books. $50 for superman $100 for the whole box, about 25 10 cent comics inc. superman 33, all star 22, detective 67 (coverless).

@goldenageguru 4 года назад

Also, a comics & stories #32 (early Barks). I know you & comictom101 don't go the ducks comics but I love em, (Carl Barks only).

@yodatalkscomicsatpscomics3783 4 года назад

This was a great show. 2 things were the most informative in this show. I had no idea about Namor's 1st appearance which is awesome. And answered the one question I can never get a straight correct answer when the Golden Age Era ranges from. I originally thought it was 1956, but to hear Jeff say 1955 settles it. I thought I had a Golden Age book with Mystery in Space #35. which is 1956/1957. Thanks everyone. Can't wait till Bronze Age, it's the age I grew up in and started my love for comics.

@goldenageguru 4 года назад

PS Comics with Comic Yoda thank you for the amazing compliment. The Mystery in Space cover is great, The Counterfeit Planet. My second favorite time frame is the Bronze Age.

8:04 Oh look! It has a child in a Captain America costume reading an issue of the Timely Comics era. And I thought cosplay and mascots suits, weren't actually a thing until the 1970's. But I was wrong here. Cosplay has been around the 1940's this whole time. A fact I never noticed until now.

@javib2978 2 месяца назад

How come superheroes aren't dealing with the recent wars, like Russia, and the government greedy deals happening at Israel and Ukraine? Superheroes are rarely about dealing with wars like in the real world nowadays. It's a shame they don't do stories like this anymore. Dealing with real world events and lessons as a whole. They don't stories like this anymore since the 1940's.
