Humor and Entertainment

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.

Technically speaking, a comic book is any sort of periodical that features graphic sequential story-telling along with narrative dialogue as its primary story-telling methods. The magazine may have one or more complete stories in each issue, one or more episodes of continuing stories, or some combination of the two.

Most comic book historians and fans consider the era we’re currently in as modern. But there is no doubt that something in the comic book industry has created a fundamental shift in the foundation of both the business and entertainment sides of the medium sometime in the early part of the new millennium. Soon, I think the pundits will announce that comic book publishing has entered a new age, and the previous one-the one now known as the “Modern Age” will be reclassified as something else (the most likely candidates will probably be the Platinum or Iron Ages). However, since that era has not been labeled, the only thing we can accurately call the current era of comic book publishing is the “Post-Modern” era.

The Modern Age of comic books is a period of time beginning in 1986 and ending sometime in the early 2000s. Two things redefined comic books, specifically super-hero comic books in 1986: the publication of Watchmen and John Byrne’s reboot of Superman.

The Bronze Age of comic books is a period of time between the early 1970s and 1986. It is characterized by loosening standards by the major publishers and the growth of underground and independent comics.

This book is great time passer whether your a fan of Carlin or not. It reads almost like a dictionary of humor and ideas. More often than not George Carlin comedy will make you think about things a whole new way and laugh about it. That’s one of my favorite things to do is just read a random passage from this book and have a good chuckle. Needless to say, this great for any down time you experience during your day as it doesn’t read like a normal book more like a reference guide to short abstract ideas to pass the time.

It is very difficult in today’s commercialized world not to be familiar with Spider-Man. And it doesn’t matter whether you have young school age children, you’re in college or like me… you’re as “old as dirt”, we have all been exposed to this most unlikeliest of all “Super Heroes”.
