Heroes

The Superman of today is by no means the same Superman who was first created back in the 1930’s, and the same can be said about Batman, Wonder Woman, and Spiderman… So what do our heroes symbolize today and how have they changed over time?

Death and Resurrection

Death is inevitable… even for the costumed heroes gracing the pages of comic books.

Gender and Relationships

Sex and comics have always had an uneasy association. From the strained relationships of Superman and Lois Lane, Spiderman and Mary Jane to the sexual orientation of North Star and the latest incarnation of Bat Woman, sex is not a subject that has been easy for most comic book creators and publishers.

The Evolution of Comics

The Evolution of Comics

In the early years comic books were regulated to ensure that nothing sexual, offensive or unpatriotic made it onto the pages or into the minds of their young readers. This regulation was the job of the Comics Code. As the audience for comics became older and more sophisticated the code vanished and the work done in the medium of comics became more mature making way for some of the greatest works in the medium.

Villains

Comic book villains like comic book heroes, started out as simple statements on evil. But they too had to evolve to keep up with the changing times and audience. The Joker, Dr. Doom, Lex Luthor and Magneto are not exactly the simple one note super-villains they were when they were created…

Politics

What does it mean when a Super hero’s uniform is based on his country’s flag? Art and politics have crossed over in many forms and comic books are no exception. From fantastic story lines like Lex Luthor becoming the President of the United States to the real historical comic books based on the war in Bosnia, comic books have examined the subject of politics in a fantastic and often very realistic light.

Genres

We all know about superhero comics, but the western, sci-fi, fantasy, horror and noir are just some of the other genres that are available to readers. While the super hero genre seems to have literally hijacked the medium of comics in the minds of the public, there really are stories being told in comic form that will astound and amaze you… and they do it with no heat vision or spandex…

Legendary figures like Robert Crumb along with not so-well-known artists have created works that have altered the art form of comics for all time. Telling stories that range from deeply personal to historical biography, these creators present an alternative view of the art form you thought you knew.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015. 

Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
