I was shocked when I saw the second Fantastic Four movie and the Silver Surfer was a villain. The Silver Surfer comics were about a hero. It was how the original comic book hero was but then they killed him off in the movie.

Depending on what characters you are looking for, there are many in the discount comics sections of not only the stores but on the internet. The prices online can go as low as $0.74 per issue. The discount prices usually come with a disclaimer or limiting the amount you can purchase.

For many of us, all we know about comic books is that we like them and vintage comics are just old ones. No matter how old we get, there is still that strange appeal to pick one up at the store and look at it. I have noticed that the older I get the more I appreciate things. One of them is vintage comics.

There are still quite a few rare comic books on the market that anyone, with enough money can own. Most that are under $50 are from the 1960’s and 1970’s era.

Now here is a super hero for the handicapped, Daredevil comics. The only problem is that it does not come in braille. Daredevil made his first appearance in 1964 created by Stan Lee. The daredevil slogan is that he is the man without fear.

The Silver Age of comic books is a term that refers to a period between 1956 and the early 1970s. It’s characterized by the resurgence of super-hero comics, a re-interpretation of Golden Age heroes, increasingly outlandish storylines, and the debut of Stan Lee and Marvel Comics as a major force in comic book publishing.

The Comics Code Authority is a self-regulatory body that governs content in comic books. But, ironically, it drove its founder out of business and is largely ignored today.

The Golden Age of comics begins in June 1938. This is the first appearance of Superman in Action Comics #1, published by DC Comics.

A super-hero is a fictional character – typically an adventurer or vigilante of some sort – with superhuman powers or abilities (physical, mental or spiritual in nature), whose exploits are chronicled almost entirely in comic books or other media adaptations of those comic book adventures. These are typically children’s cartoons, but several super-hero movies have been released in the past 10 years.

In the strictest sense, a graphic novel is a long-form, bound story in the same format as magazine-style comic books. The first book to self-identify itself as a graphic novel was Bloodstar by Richard Corben, adapting a story by Robert E. Howard in 1976.
