In 2007 while we were at Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC<\/a>, Bryan Deemer of Comic Geek Speak<\/a> asked me to write a column about the origins of our modern comic books and comic book characters in his new magazine, Comics NOW<\/em>!<\/em>  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.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Comics Then #1<\/a>(Fall 2007) featuring Superman.<\/li>\n
  2. Comics Then #2<\/a>(Spring 2008) featuring Batman, Robin and Golden Age time travel.<\/li>\n
  3. Comics Then #3<\/a>(Summer 2008) featuring the Batman Origin Trilogy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Unfortunately, Comics Now!<\/em> 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, <\/em> I published them on this blog.  You can read these columns by clicking the links, below.<\/p>\n
