The History of Comics. 

Since their rise in the 1930s, comic books have become an established and much loved storytelling medium and artform.  They’re an immersive form of storytelling that has captivated fans for decades with many of the characters originally created for comics becoming major pop culture icons, widely known outside of the comics industry, through blockbuster movies, TV shows, video games, toys, etc. 

The introduction of the Comics Code Authority in the 1950’s could have killed the industry, but thankfully the medium was revitalised during the 1960’s the ‘Silver Age’ of comics. In the early 1990’s the spectacular trend led to significant growth in the independent comics market (e.g. Dark Horse Comics, Image Comics and Valiant Comics).  More recently and in part as a result of the acquisition of Marvel Comics by Disney, the domination by the ‘big two’ comic companies DC Comics and Marvel Comics is arguably greater now than it has ever been.    

You may only follow the exploits of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman or any of DC’s stable of heroes or you may be a ‘Marvelite’ and follow such heroes as Spider-man, Hulk, Thor or the X-Men.  Whatever your interests, whether you’re an experienced collector or a relative newcomer, comics offer action, adventure and escapism for readers of all ages.
