In 2007 while we were at Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC, Bryan Deemer of Comic Geek Speak asked me to write a column about the origins of our modern comic books and comic book characters in his new magazine, Comics NOW! I was honored, and suggested the title “Comics Then” for the column. Bry agreed, and we completed the first three issues. The columns that appears in those issues are below.
- Comics Then #1(Fall 2007) featuring Superman.
- Comics Then #2(Spring 2008) featuring Batman, Robin and Golden Age time travel.
- Comics Then #3(Summer 2008) featuring the Batman Origin Trilogy.
Unfortunately, Comics Now! ceased publication after three issues. This was really a shame as Bryan Deemer and everyone else involved in this effort created a first class publication. In anticipation of issues four and five, I had written two additional “Comics Then” columns. As they were never printed in a future edition of Comics Now, I published them on this blog. You can read these columns by clicking the links, below.
