Did the rise of superhero comics also prove this in the 40s 50s and 60s?

In those eras, the comics were for children, not grown-ass men.

You probably rant against Mickey Mouse being rolled flat with a rolling pin and bouncing right back up for more action.

Marvel and DC may have scraped right though the bottom of the barrel, however it is a business and the market loves this stuff.

If you don't care for it just buy some Beethoven LP's and a record player. Who the fuck made you judge and jury on what is proper entertainment.

> American men
Check out the worldwide box office figures on those superhero movies. I think people just like action movies with a bunch of cool effects.

The Comics Journal, which has covered the wide world of comic entertainments for decades, has referred to the superhero genre as power fantasies.
