Creating Your Own Comic Book Hero

Making your own comic book hero is not as easy as it sounds. Many things go into starting one. What are your hero’s names? What are his or hers powers? Who are the nemeses? Does it have the same science that is on earth, as we know it, or divergent one? What weapons are there? Is their planet in trouble? Other factors to consider are; will you do the writing, the artwork, a creative consultant or the idea person? All of the above? How technology advanced is your planet? Social issues? Physiological disorders of the villain or the heroes?

A comic book heroes name should reflect the hero. Birdman should look like a bird. Many comic book heroes are based on mythological deities and have exotic powers. The name of your comic book heroes should be researched to make sure the name is not being used elsewhere.

The powers that your comic book heroes will have will determine the villains. Who would want super powered beings that constantly chases after a minor criminals? It makes no sense to the balance of power. Conversely, if you have comic book superheroes that have no powers, or limited powers, then the villains can be considered right for your story. Then again, it would make interesting stories if the villains were super powered and the heroes were not. It would take the heroes brains and match it against either the villain’s intellect or his might. It could be a combination of both the attributes.
The antagonists come large and small. Do the criminals in your comic books fight against each other or is there an affiliation that gives the heroes a headache? Do they have a base of operations in your comic books?

Are their weapons a force to be reckoned with or is the technology still in its infancy stage? Do the heroes fly or is there spacecraft that enables them to leave their planet? The pollution option could be told and how they are dealing with it. The population is a concern, is it a concern in your world? Are there the rich and the poor who have continual conflict? Is your society a magical one or will the magic be only for the elite? Would they be impervious to everything? So many choices that can be entertaining and difficult to choose from.

The government could be interesting in your comic books. Do the governments of the world approve of the superheroes or are they determined to outlaw them? Your comic books should resonate with richness and character appeal.
The appeal can be shown in many diverse venues. Will the artists portray your conception of the heroes and the villains? Will you need special ink? How about the writers? Do you share a commonality with them? Who will manage the storyboard? How much influence would you allow before deciding that you can no longer recognize the people you created?
The amount of time it takes to create your own comic book heroes and villains are dependant upon the time you have to work at it.

When you get ready to print out your first edition to share with family and friends, use a 123inkjets coupon to save some money. Color ink can really get expensive.

I have touched the surface of creating you own comic book heroes and villains. There are many more details to consider. The average person has no inkling of how to go about making their own comic book heroes. The tips discussed here should help but as with any endeavor, you will need to see professional guidance.

Silver Age of Comics

The silver age of comic books lasted approximately from the late 1950′s to the early 1970′s. During this period, a few attributes of comic book characters started to develop.

One of the most interesting developments was the incorporation of science fiction into the story-lines. With science fiction at the helm, you could inject a myriad of stories. The stretching of known boundaries put a new spin on tales. Whereas, the scenes usually took place with normal circumstances, now the writer’s and artists were given free rein. The lack of limitations produced many out of the ordinary comic books. In the silver age of comic books, Batman and Robin could be placed anywhere where they were not confined to earth. I mention the two since they are not super powered.

The comic book companies took ordinary, though highly skilled, super heroes and could place them is rockets, visit alien worlds and fight for the good no matter what type of society there was. This brings an interesting thought. The societies in other worlds clearly had good people versus bad people. In the silver age of comic books, they took human traits and manifested them in aliens. There will always be good and evil, that is a given. The aliens had special abilities that transcended humans, but they were perpetually war-like. Conflict must arise in order for the super heroes to justify their existence.

Metamorphoses abounded in that era. With the fusion of science fiction into the comic book format, super heroes and villains could be transformed, or mutated, much more easily. The weapons in use were foreign and that could make even Superman pause. Today we have huge comic conferences where people show up dressed as their favorite superhero or icon. Even taking dramatic measures to alter their appearance with hair and even color contacts. While you can get the colored contacts online using a 1800contacts order code, some of the costumes people use are quite elaborate and custom made.

The conflictive nature spread beyond the science fiction realm. During this era, the comic book publishers began to integrate more humanity into their characters. They were not necessarily robotic in their mannerism and emotional appeal, but the humanizing of the comic book heroes suggested a transformation had taken place. It took internalized personal melancholy to rise to the surface and manifest itself to create a more human character. A hero or arch villain could be produced dependent upon the character’s personality. As with any conflict situation, the reader had to be enthralled with the super hero. Could a person relate to what the comic book writer’s were hoping to convey? You have to remember adding human emotion and personal tragedies was new to the genre. The reaction was positive and that tradition continues to this day.

In the comic books of that age, another character was transformed. Aquaman began in the golden age and revamped in the late 1950′s. Originally, Aquaman was deemed a negligible super hero, but as the silver age took root, his role expounded. The personal conflict surfaced when it was revealed that his arch nemesis was his half brother called Ocean Master. Another attribute that changed for Aquaman during the silver age was his ability to live outside water changed from being able to live inside or outside water indefinitely, to him needing to get to water every hour.

All the changes that took place in the Silver age comic books represented a modification that society dictated. The alterations are a necessary step to keep the comic book industry relevant.

It is located on the upper level next to the sails pavilion. Here is a map from 2008, go to the last page for the layout: http://www.comic-con.org/cci2008/forms/cci08_convctrmap.pdf (note: The lines & configuration inside ballroom 20 listed in this map have changed)

I would recommend you get in line for the Game of Thrones (3pm) panel before Noon (maybe even be in line by 11am). If you want a great seat get in line by 7am and enjoy the rest of the panels.
