There are so many comics books that All ages Love And grow up with today

If only Jack Kirby were still alive at this time, that would have been grand!

Some problems can be solved with force or brute strength. Not all problems but some can

I refuse to watch any other comic book documentary because of my love for this one.

Who wants to make a petition for a follow up to this documentary?

i remember reading those original Hulk comic books as a kid in the early 70's, my dad had a huge collection and Hulk was my very favorite of all of them and he still is.

Everyone who keeps saying “comics are for kids” or “ the comic industry has never been diverse or inclusive” and especially “comics have never been political” should watch this.

Steranko told us a prophecy.

1:16:20 this is when the narrator of this program starts to talk about himself.

That was not the Golden Age of Comics.

Jesus Christ is the only Super Hero.

FRED HAD IT IN BAD FOR COMIC BOOKS FRED IS THE ANTIY CRICST DR. HED IT INN FOR KIDS HE WAS A AWUL PERSON I WOULDN'T HAVE LISTENED TO HIM AT ALL.

So glad you put up the original with the Keith David intro, not the Peta Wilson movie shill intro. This stayed on my Tivo for a year back in 2003. And DVR space was precious then. One of the essential documentaries along with Comic Book Confidential

They need to make a sequel. This was my childhood

You forgot Gwen Stacy's death.

Moron in the documentary needs a dictionary and a history lesson... That is not what fascism means. I suppose he is a lefty... The majority are all buzzwords and phrases and not much upstairs so not surprised.

That music at 46:35 is insanely nice to listen to for some reason.

I once saw a man drag an elderly lady to the floor and tear her purse from her hands in broard daylight. I was 12 years old and as he ran towards me I remember thinking of Spiderman or Batman apprehending the guy. It was a split second thought, I thought of my heroes and stuck my foot out. The man went crashing to the floor dropping the purse which was quickly picked up and given to the old woman who it belonged too. I remember the crook locking eyes with me and there was pure hatred there, I felt it. As he jumped up towards me two blokes grabbed and restrained him and he was eventually taken away by the police. One of the men commended me for my bravery. He'd said he'd watched the whole thing but was too far away to initially do anything. They agreed that they were both moved to act after a boy half their age stuck out his foot and one said "that's how heroes are made." The old lady wanted to give me a ten pound note as a reward and I did politely refuse and stated that wasn't why I did what I did. But she would not take no for an answer. I was a pretty anxious kid and never had the best social skills. I remember my eyes tearing up as all these strangers clapped and applauded me. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. With the ten pounds I went to my local comic shop and bought a batman and a spiderman book. When I got home my parents were out at the pub and my sisters were all too teenage girl to care. I just sat on my bed and stirred at these two comics thinking about how amazing it was that these two fictional characters had such a prefound affect on me. I have never forgotten the lesson I taught myself that day. If you see something happen and you know in your heart it's wrong, act no matter what happens do something if you can.

1:15:17 1:15:18what comic are those from.

Back when history channel was awesome

the guy that shows up at 5:20 is my history college teacher right now

This was a great documentary when I was a kid and still is I can keep rewatching

In my opinion this is still the greatest comic book documentary of all time

The narrator is the president in Rick and Morty lmao

This documentary is cool

Superman is not the first superhero…

Digicomics are crap Long live the printed word

You only use one sense using digital that's sense of sight With a physical comic you have something you own and you use 3 senses Touch smell sight

Awesome, they got Keith David to narrate 😁😁😁

About 99% of American comic books are garbage. It was garbage then, it is garbage now. Want to read quality comic books? Read mangas and manhwas. These are comic books even adults can truly enjoy. This is fact.

"I think Daredevil had to be a Catholic, because only a Catholic can be a vigillante and an attorney at the same time." Frank Miller. I am a Catholic and I am still trying to figure out how you arrived at that conclusion Frank!

What's the bet that the Comic code that came about was an original order from Hitler himself for Wertham to get the dice rolling

BACK IN THE YEAR OF 1919 -1939 BATMAN ROBIN SUPERMAN WONDER WOMAN THE FLASH GREEN LANTER BATGIRL WHERE REAL PEOPLE WAY BEFOUR COMICS BOOKS CAME ALONG.

This is like a time capsule of the pre Marvel Movie boom comics world

My dad was a NY sanitation worker and brought home two huge boxes of old comics books that someone had thrown out in the trash, I was 12 y/o at that time, 1976. I spent every night for a month reading those old comics books. I still have them in my attic. Every couple of years I will sneak in the attic and read some of them. I love the smell of the old pages, the feel of that unique texture as I gently turn them, and the loving memories of my Dad who past away a year after he brought home those two glorious boxes of old comic books. Hope the magic of reading comic books never withers away. John. (Favorite comics- Fantastic Four and Luke Cage Hero for Hire)

Goliath?

To be honest does anyone actually enjoy the politically based comic books? They're not the big stories everyone says are the best. That sounds more like corporate bs. Batman and gun laws. Give me a freaking break. They even say when writer's went to war that the non creatives basically took over and creators didn't even own their characters until the 90s. When did everyone start loving the government and corporations like our saviors. Even 8 years ago this documentary seems to praise that crap. All said lol I appreciate the documentary.

Comic Books Heros unmasked is indeath look at dc marvel who i call my scoent family from the 1930's 1940's 1950"s and whant they whent thought over 25 years ago.

Rest in peace stand lee bob cane &bill finger.

Excellent documentary. First started reading comic books at about age 11 or 12. Sampled a little DC, but gravitated towards Marvel. At age 57 I still occasionally pic up a book, and heart remains with Marvel .
