The History of Comics Will Be Explored in History Channel's SUPERHEROES DECODED Special
I love comics. It's my thing. I read them, study them, look deep into them. I think that everyone that writes has something they really get, whether it's games, movies, tv or just news. I feel something that I have an intensive history with is comics. Which makes me so excited about this new History Channel two-part series special all about the hidden origin stories of comics biggest heroes.
The cable network has planned to air the two-part special called Superheroes Decoded on April 30th and May 1st.
The first part will look at the creation of iconic heroes such as Batman, Superman, Captain America, Spider-Man and Wonder Woman and how they were influenced by history and how they changed through the years as we went through different wars and events.
The second part will look at the idea of superheroes as outsiders or rebels and examine characters such as the X-Men, Luke Cage, Iron Man, Black Panther, and the Hulk and how they were inspired by real world issues and social injustices.
If that doesn't excite you, maybe some of the names they've got will. Some of the people who have been interviewed include Stan Lee, Anthony and Joe Russo, Anthony Mackie, George R. R. Martin, Jon Favreau and Brad Meltzer.
It's a great line-up, and I'm especially excited to see my favorite Marvel fanboy George R. R. on the list of people who will be interviewed. It's so amazing how much comics have influenced our society. If you're a fan of comics be sure to check this out!
