Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Movies in the '90s were more varied, but then after 9/11 and the "war on terror" it seems that there was an intentional focus on superheroes fighting the bad guys, don't know about the '80s.
Probably, but CGI maturing and becoming cheaper may have played a larger role.
Probably not a coincidence that most Golden Age superheroes were created around the beginning of WWII:
Superman 1938
Batman 1939
Captain Marvel/Shazam 1939
The Human Torch 1939
Namor the Sub-Mariner 1939
The Flash 1939
Captain America 1940
Green Lantern 1940
Wonder Woman 1941
