With all the conventions, movies, radio spots and television shows, it is easy to see that interest in fantasy and science fiction remain popular. Still, many early writers in these genres remain unknown. One of the best and earliest of these writers is A. D. Condo who created what is believed to be the earliest publication in the genre, Mr. Skygack from Mars. A single panel black and white strip about a visitor to earth which became popular in newspapers in the U. S. During the 1930s and 1940s.
Buck Rogers based on the series American Stories came onto the scene along with Flash Gordon, Brick Bradford, and the British character Dan Dare in the early 1960s. Representations of the first block buster, Superman, can still be found in a number of formats. While Superman owes most of his fame to these early science fiction Comic book authors, he is now considered part of a subset of genre.
A new wave of morality brought about by those believing these books were bad for children in the mid-60s, created a strong emotional response in parents. Many of which disallowed their children to read such material. Regardless of this opposition and a book called Seduction of the Innocent, by Frederick Wertham, the genre still remains popular.
The industry rebounded with themes aimed directly at children and young adults in the late 1960s. At which time, underground books, music and posters became more popular. Then, another new wave of material found its way into the mainstream which focused on hippies and the free love movement.
In the 1950s, Japan saw a rise in publications by new writers. Anime became the next stage when the focus became more on creating animated characters. One of the earliest comic books known as manga included Osamu Tezuka's strip, Astro Boy. A large collection of anime has since been released by others which has created a huge and ongoing interest in the genre.
Dan Dare was the earliest character developed by authors in the UK. It was not until the mid to late 1960s that the genre became popular after the release of the The Trojan Empire. A series that included comics published in Look and Learn, a book devoted to teaching art as well as entertaining children.
The internet now allows a venue for new and well seasoned writers to explore fantasy and science fiction. One of the most popular of the earliest web comics is that of Polymer City Chronicles. Both this and Starship Crisis were quite popular shortly after the activation of the world wide web. Posting historic editions of older comic strips, science fiction and others later became quite popular among both new and emerging graphic artists.
Whether reading these great science fiction strips in a traditional booklet or online, the authors did a great job creating this genre. Comic book trading, especially with relation to fantasy and science fiction has not only become popular but a hobby for enthusiasts. So much so that fans can be found dressed as favorite characters at regional and national conventions. Whereas, comic book stores are now presented as themes in many television series, movies and theater productions.
