The Comic Book Historian: A Look at the History of Wonder Woman

,

PopCultHQ connected with the Comic Book Historian to learn more about the hugely popular and widely-recognized Amazon warrior Wonder Woman. Here’s what Christian had to share about this legendary Amazon and her extensive journey from conception to the current incarnation seen today. With Wonder Woman less than a month away from arriving in theaters, and hopes are high that it is a fantastic film and not the usual Warner Bros. drivel, I thought I’d chat a bit about everyone’s favorite Amazon. From time to time I find myself commissioned by various online pop culture sites to write about comics in

Superman…Super Salesman for the U.S. Government?

Sometimes even superheroes need jobs so they can have a little pocket change, but I don’t think I want to know where the spandex clad heroes keep it. In 1954, the U.S. Department of Treasury hired the Superman Production Company, and Superman himself (George Reeves), to promote the sales of U.S. Savings Bonds. This video might even be familiar to some of you as it was mocked by RiffTrax during the Live MST3K Reunion Show on June 28, 2016.   Do you want to go out and buy your U.S. Savings Bonds now?

PopCultHQ Comic Book Review: MAN VS. ROCK – B-Movie Gold in Artistic Book Form

,

I am a B-movie fan, so when I came across this hard sell at C2E2 this year, I had to check it out;   MAN VS. ROCK is not the comic you think it is…. It’s Evil Dead, Indiana Jones and Killer Tomatoes all rolled into one raunchy joint… This comic is B-movie gold in artistic book form. This book slaughters societal niceties as it builds up the story and develops our main conflict. This over-the-top comic is fast-paced and carries a low-brow humor that is definitely for mature audiences. It is the perfect combination of comedy in all its forms
