Today we live in a world where grandmother, mother, and son all know who Spider-Man is. Why? The answer to this question dates back nearly 100 years ago. Building off the previous course, Comic Book Studies: Heroes and Villains Part 2 will explore Marvel, DC, and other companies leading the comic book industry. We will examine the classic dynamic of Good vs. Evil, which is the classic trademark of storytelling, especially in comic books. Students will study: 
  • Early beginnings of famous superheroes like Superman in 1938 and Batman in 1939.
  • The history of heroes and villains in popular fiction from comic almanacs and early periodicals, storypapers, dime novels, to short-form strip comics.
  • What makes a good superhero and what makes a good “bad” villain
  • The culture, subculture, and influence of the Marvel and DC universe.
  • Mavel’s “marvelous” creations including The Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, 
  • DC’s “dazzling” creations including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Justice League, and hundreds of other characters
  • Independent, underground, and alternative publishers including IDW, Valiant Comics, Mirage, Dark Horse Comics, and their awesome creations including Spawn, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ninjak, Bloodshot, The Walking Dead, and many others.
We will be reading, examining, and discussing comics and their connection to toys, cartoons, movies, and popular culture. Students will have the opportunity to explore different ways to create their own heroes, villains, and comic books. Students will also be given the opportunity to share their own personal connection to comic books and these beloved characters.
