FANTASY STAINED GLASS
ACTION HEROES

Action heroes are associated with comic books and comic books are as old as movies. It is usual to acknowledge the first comic book as R.F.Outcalt's, The Yellow Kid, created in 1896. Outcalt introduced a new element: the balloon, a space where he wrote what the characters said. At first comic books were essentially humoristic, and this explains the name "comic book".
The crash of the Stock Market in 1929 was a turning point in comic book history with the introduction of Flash Gordon, Dick Tracy and Tarzan. About this time the first costumed character was created, the Phantom. This led to the later creation of the super-hero, with the introduction of Superman. In the period from 1940 -1945 some four hundred super heroes were created, mostly based on Superman's model, though only a few survived.
