These modern self-proclaimed
experts and pundits of comic books characters are confusing and in a way
shooing us comic book lovers aside by making complicated and convoluted the
characters and personalities of our funny pages iconic heroes.
Comic books were and should
still be intended for kids and those who are children at heart at times. Allow them free rein in their fantasy and
escapist world. We regard and honor these heroes as they were originally
introduced to us during their nascent times.
Invested with the kind of unequivocal clarity and cut-and-dried qualities
that kids understood and adhered to.
Truth, Justice, and Honor. Law
and order. And yes, they are all American
ways.
But these usurping writers
and artists have co-opted these characters and their qualities and fleshed them
out with details that depict these heroes as possessing dark and sinister persona, gravely conflicted and agonized, and at times even misguided in the
superhuman pursuit of their noblest aims.
Please leave them as they
were. But yes, do keep improving the
artwork, artwork that glorifies the beauty and goodness of their characters and
again the beauty and perfection of their physical beings. With dark and foreboding artwork we now find
in pages of their works, one may be prompted to assume that many readers/viewers
are harboring ideas that our heroes are now villains because of how they are
drawn.
Comic books are works of
fiction. Leave dark facts and unseemly realities
to works of non-fiction.
