Comics What Caused The Shift To Darker Themes In Comics During The 1980's Onward?

What caused the shift to darker themes in comics during the 1980's onward? - comics

The modern age of comics began in 1986, and they are dark characters and stories of couples and questions. My question is, what caused this change in the most innocent and comic heroes of modern times. Is it a specific change in culture or changes that led to this type of comic to auditions?

The change began much earlier, but it became a reality in many respects in the eighties.

In the sixties it was the slow death of the Comics Code, which I more than if he was so tired rant, and commercial success with this pre-Internet era, the counters of the fairness of reproductive technologies to produce creator owned Comics and certainly involved uncensored graphic sex and drugs (4 Zap, Mr. Peanut mutate Mr. P *** s deals with strawberries Victor Moscoso also topics such as socialism TrashMan bikers and culture in Spain Rodriguez, Sixth International Gender identity in many books in the late Vaughan Bode and ecology in the slow death and Ecofunnies last breath, he gave his first exhibition Rich Corben.

In the eighties, the industry had recovered from its Pyrrhic victory hegenomy ( "Another victory like we've done," said Pirro). But it was the demand for products for adults and more thoughtful. They had some older people like Tom Veitch underground work for them, andhad British writers like Alan Moore, and finally he had this new generation of people like Frank Miller and Walter Simonson, believe it or not, who were the first examples of the talent was influenced by manga. Japan is a completely different culture than ours. I like to joke that I am not interested in having the confidence to proclaim "Otaku" I do not know Hanae Mori Commes des Garcons (two excellent Japanese fashion. I'm really just unpleasant, however). Japanese pop culture was a bit darker than that of America forever. Lone Wolf and Cub Lone Wolf lands of his enemy to kill the Cub - Cub although as a small child in medieval Japan a chance to grow up without parents or have a house has begun to death. This series has a great influence on Frank Miller, who apparently helped to find a publisher, and was too big for the cover. Simonson Mecha interest in their explosions, superhero costumes (see the drawing of the series Paul Kirk Manhunter courageous and bold in the seventies, with Archie Goodwin), and so on.

At the heart of the eighties - and was a dark period for progressives that led the surrender of the American people for the most features, dividends to shareholders, and a triumph of capitaltists been a monopoly. And large companies in the industry went through a period in which they felt threatened by the subversive cartoon thoughtful, but gloomy, as I mentioned earlier, and will not happen again. Coopted questions that try to cling to an older audience.

Do not start this modern age of comics in 1986, believe me.

Well, people have always been more liberal and cosmopolitan and less things like murder and crime away (glorified be bored by the new one) and people with the clean cut heroes and stories. Most will tell you that Frank Miller has started the movement with "The Dark Knight Returns" (in guessing you because you said 1986), but all forms of media have been strained as a new (but) in Meak today's standards. I think the time was not more sand. The times are changing.

The most likely reason is the success of deconstruction as guards and Killing Joke (Batman).

After that the floodgates are opened and created dozens of imitators ...
