The Fantasy and Science Fiction genre is one which has a rather dramatic following. Conventions are held annually in many parts of the world where fans dress and act as favorite characters. A. D. Condo and his initial comic strip Mr. Skygack from Mars, is often considered the earliest publication in this genre. Without his work, the world may never have known the likes of Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon or Superman.
Buck Rogers based on the series American Stories came onto the scene along with Flash Gordon, Brick Bradford, and the British character Dan Dare in the early 1960s. Representations of the first block buster, Superman, can still be found in a number of formats. While Superman owes most of his fame to these early science fiction Comic book authors, he is now considered part of a subset of genre.
The genre was challenged in the 1960s by Frederick Wertham. He was an activist who decided that material in these books contained adult themes which children and young adults should not be reading at an early age. Many parents bought into his theory and soon removed any comic books featuring science fiction characters from the home.
It was not long before the industry rebounded with new books and characters aimed at teens and young adults. During this period, another wave of new material hit the market. Among these new releases were comic books, music and posters related to free love, hippies and music.
Japanese comics featuring fantasy, science fiction and other themes were first published in the 1950s. The earliest of which were books known as manga. One of the most popular in this series was Astro Boy created by Osamu Tezuka. Many others have since released additional manga with a variety of different characters and themes. Some of which can be found in a number of games, films and television shows in Japan, the United States and other countries.
Dan Dare was the earliest well known character to come alive in the UK. The Trigan Empire released in the 1960s is often considered the most popular of all the series. It is believed this success is due to the series being included in a book called Look and Learn. The goal of the book being to teach children about art and entertainment.
Other authors have become more well known all over the world since the establishment of the internet. Web strips have since also become extremely popular. The most well known of these are most likely two of the earliest, Polymer City Chronicles and Starship Crisis. The internet has allowed a venue for artists and authors all over the world to connect and interact while sharing various forms of art, including comics and graphic novels.
Whether reading these great science fiction strips in a traditional booklet or online, the authors did a great job creating this genre. Comic book trading, especially with relation to fantasy and science fiction has not only become popular but a hobby for enthusiasts. So much so that fans can be found dressed as favorite characters at regional and national conventions.
