sequentialscholars.comICYMI: yesterday @sequentialscholars.bsky.social, we talked about the Joker as an emblematic Golden Age supervillain. #Batman #GoldenAge #ComicsStudies
In the beginning, Golden Age superheroes fought corrupt capitalists & gangsters. But it soon became clear this new type of hero needed a new type of foe—the supervillain. The Joker, introduced in Batman #1 (1940), is emblematic of this new character type. 1/12
ICYMI: yesterday, we talked about Golden Age superheroes as sentinels of the city over at @sequentialscholars.bsky.social! #GoldenAge #ComicsStudies #Superman #Batman #WonderWoman
Superheroes are sentinels of the city. Indeed, Scott Bukatman argues #GoldenAge superheroes “encapsulated & embodied the same utopian aspirations of modernity as the cities themselves.” They are also designed to survive the real & symbolic dangers of modern urban existence. 1/12

ICYMI: yesterday, we talked tropes of sexual violence in Golden Age superhero comics over @sequentialscholars.bsky.social. #ComicsStudies #Superman #GoldenAge
Action Comics #1 (1938) introduces the world to the superhero, but also to a problematic trope of implicit sexual violence against women that would go on to become a common story element of the Golden Age superhero genre. #ComicsStudies. 1/10
ICYMI: yesterday @sequentialscholars.bsky.social, we explored contexts for the #GoldenAge of superhero comics! #ComicsStudies #Superman
To become popular, pop culture must capture a zeitgeist–a defining spirit of the time, of which it then becomes representative. This informs the immediate success of #Superman, who embodied a new type of heroism in the wake of one World War & on the brink of second. 1/13

The #GoldenAge of superhero comics is generally thought to begin with Superman’s debut in Action Comics #1 (1938) and last until the postwar adoption of the Comics Code (1954). It was a time of innovation & upheaval that’s not easily summarized–but we’ll try! 1/8 #ComicsStudies

I wonder how much will change. Right now it's so pleasant. I fear we'll lose that once advertisers and corporate accts get here. I miss some journalists from twitter. But they will bring politicians and political discussions. Which are important but exhausting. #GoldenAge ?
