Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
Movies in the '90s were more varied, but then after 9/11 and the "war on terror" it seems that there was an intentional focus on superheroes fighting the bad guys, don't know about the '80s.
Probably not a coincidence that most Golden Age superheroes were created around the beginning of WWII:
Superman 1938
Batman 1939
Captain Marvel/Shazam 1939
The Human Torch 1939
Namor the Sub-Mariner 1939
The Flash 1939
Captain America 1940
Green Lantern 1940
Wonder Woman 1941
Probably, but CGI maturing and becoming cheaper may have played a larger role.
