WELCOME
TO COMICS TALK
Comics have been a
media outlet for many for over fifty years. Youth and
adult have enjoyed the combination of story and art that
changes with each generation of comic readers. Comics
Talk was created to share ideas about the industry and
what it means to society today. The blend of art and
stories make comics a unique media for young and old. No
other medium of entertainment can claim fans from every
walk of life and financial status. The evolution of
comics has brought us to a point that mirrors society
itself. With Comics Talk my hope is to find the pulse of
readers and enthusiasts and discover what direction we
are going.
Why
Comics?
Almost every person who reads a comic has
been ridiculed by insensitive people saying that you
should have something better to do with the time than to
read a " funny book ". As a young person I saw
nothing funny about the super hero comics I was reading.
They made my imagination soar, for a few moments I could
imagine what it was like to be Superman with the ability
to fly and move faster than a speeding bullet. I could
have power to change things in society and do good. Stan
Lee wrote in his comic Amazing Spiderman, " with
great power comes great responsibility ".
Morals in comics? Yes it helped me form ideas about good
and evil in society. Many comic book readers have gone
on to become very responsible people and use their
abilities to change the world today. It is true the pin
is mightier than the sword. Many writers in comics can
take pride their stories. The art work also is important
it can make a story pleasurable to read and help with
the dynamics of the story. With just a few panels in a
comic you can say a lot. A picture is worth a thousand
words. The art work in comics is just as meaningful as
the story. The comic industry came together after 9-11-01
to show some of the grief and heart ache the country was
feeling because of the terrible loss of life in the
terrorist attack. Each company used their best artists
in special comic releases to show a grief stricken comic
Hero world. This mirrored the feelings in the free world
over the atrocity in New York and Washington D.C.
Although they are fictitious characters they gave a
point of relief the world needed. The anguish was very
real and felt by many all over the world. Comics have
been around for many years and will always exist in some
form or another. It is the expression of a generation
through story and art and is ever changing. You can
observe that change and be part of it if you want. As a
reader or artist or story teller feel free to express
yourself in this media.
