- Synopsis
- A Brief History of Comic Book Movies traces the meteoric rise of the hybrid art form of comic book film. The films trace their origins back to the early 1940s, when the first Batman and Superman serials were made. These serials, and later television shows in the 1950s and 60s, were for the most part designed for children. But today, with the continuing rise of Comic-Con, they seem to be more a part of the mainstream than ever, appealing to men and women as well as younger fans. A Brief History of Comic Book Movies examines comic book movies from the past and present, exploring how these films shaped American culture in the post-World War II era to the present, and how they adapted to the changing tastes and mores of succeeding generations. The book offers a concise overview of a genre that has become popular on an international level, and dominates multiplexes the world over.
